The kaleidoscope art manor inside the Maitreya Oriental Rhyme Scenic Area is an indispensable place to take pictures and punch in. The strange shape here forms its own unique architectural style. With the change of light, different angles form its own unique beauty. Because of this, it is called kaleidoscope. True change, this beauty can only be truly understood by being immersive.
"Kaleidoscope Art Manor" uses surreal and postmodern architectural styles, without a steel bar, a nail, only locally produced red bricks built. Such a seemingly lawless building, it is said that the building does not even have a design, such as the nesting of ants, and it moves with the heart. This rough way to build, but to mix three local cultures, bottle-like represents the red wine culture, and the Yi fire culture and the symbiotic culture. Today, modern design is so complete, you still have to admire this sixth sense of innate creativity.
The kaleidoscope art manor in the east charm art town is a castle with a different style of red brick. You will find that there is really a cave when you walk in. The castle is an arch and a tall dome, with triangles and round holes on the dome wall, which are transparent. Arches are cascading, deep and mysterious; dome stars flashing, distant magic, this kaleidoscope art manor is not a false name.
The manor is very artistic and story-like, and it has become an online celebrity attraction.
Kaleidoscope Art Village is located in the town of Maitreya Oriental Rhyme, designed and built by famous Yunnan artist Luo Wei. The whole appearance is a "tube"-shaped building, it is said that the design concept originated from our childhood "kaleidoscope", very wonderful. At the same time, the exterior of the building is also like a bottle of wine, showing postmodern abstraction, representing the red wine culture of Maitreya, and the three cultures of the Yi people's fire culture and symbiosis, and the interior does combine the western dome and the eastern tile kiln perfectly. It also reflects humanism and pragmatism, which can be described as a clever work. Enter the museum, you will find that the lighting on the top four walls of the museum is also designed according to the characteristics of the Mitsubishi mirror in the kaleidoscope. The transparent glass windows of the dome are like the kaleidoscope lens. Due to the different sun exposures at different times on different dates, The light in the museum will also show different changes, clever. Traffic Raiders 1⃣️ Kunming Departure Bus: Take the subway to Kunming South Railway Station in the urban area, buy high-speed rail tickets, first-class seat 54, second-class seat 34, about 30 minutes to arrive 2⃣️ Self-driving: Navigation directly search for "wind kaleidoscope art manor", pay attention to the car not to drive in, there is a parking lot outside the main entrance
Very distinctive art complex, also a photo resort. This is the creative base of the local artist Luo Wei, a characteristic building built by red bricks, which is very inspired. I took a lot of blockbuster movies here, all of which were taken by my mother for me. You can also make an appointment for travel shooting, which is very convenient. Unfortunately, these kaleidoscopes are still being renovated, and I hope that after the decoration, there will be various art exhibitions, which will be more literary.
