Museum "House upside down"
Recently, the museum, in which all the exhibits are presented upside down, has updated the design of the premises. Now here is a space of eight locations: living room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, children's rooms, a corridor and a bedroom.
In the apartment, the flip-flop offers to do the usual things: make breakfast, relax in the bedroom or wash things. Do not forget that the floor and ceiling are swapped, so this is not an easy task. The museum is especially good for unusual photo shoots - the pictures seem as if you are floating near the ceiling.
