This summer, two super-popular exhibitions are being held at the World Trade Center in Taichung. One is the globally beloved "Tatsuya Tanaka's Miniature World Exhibition" by the artist known as the “micro-sculpture god,” adored by culture lovers, and the other is an interactive art exhibition where you can view, touch, take photos, and shoot videos. The "AR Super Vision: Japanese Illusion Art World Tour Exhibition" features three brand-new AR-enhanced illusion artworks specially created for Taiwan. Both exhibitions will be grandly presented at the Taichung World Trade Center from now until September 9.
