A Sneak Peek Into Global Village Ripley's Happenings
Here are some of the amazing events, happenings, and shows lined up at Ripley’s: Visit Global Village Dubai and unlock all the fun.
Mirror Maze
The very first section of Ripley is a mirror maze. More than a thousand neon LED lights are used to illuminate it. This mirror maze is built with more than 100 mirror panels.
You have to use your senses to find your way out, as you will most likely reach a dead end. Each corner has a different theme and special effects that create dynamic visuals on the mirrors. The cost for a mirror maze ticket is 25 AED per person.
Shadow Art
It is an interesting piece of art that is made from cutlery. When you hit the light button, a shadow of a boy appears who is watering her garden with a dog. When you view it from angles, you can see various other shadows images as well. A factory billowing smoke next to a heavy machinery is one of them.
Japanese Samurai
If you’re someone who gets fascinated by samurai and enjoys samurai history, there is something for you as well. Here you get to see an original Japanese Samurai Armour which is delivered by Riley’s team for you to enjoy.
Shrunken Heads
This is the most quirky display in the museum. The Shuar Tribe practiced shrunken head ritual to scare the enemies.
Believe it or not, these are real human heads that you can observe closely in the museum. Moreover, if you want to know how your head would look as a shrunken head, you can do that with the interactive screen.
Gallery of Odd People
There is also a gallery of people where you can learn about people with unique physical features. Among the few we can share with you is the largest hand in the world which can hold a dozen eggs.
The next is the largest man in the world. You can also measure yourself with a wooden scale next to the tallest man.
London Bridge
A London Bridge structure is something you must not miss. You must be thinking, what is so special about that? Well, this is not an ordinary structure. It is recycled and made from 3246 scrap metals that the makers picked up.
Arab Meets America
The east meets west section of the museum where you can find some interesting exhibitions. It houses creative art pieces that are an amalgamation of west and east.
Spiderman
A very peculiar Spiderman painting is hung on the wall of this museum. The artist used a spider web as a canvas to paint a Spiderman on it. It’s fascinating for the visitors.
Old Money
In Ripley, you can also discover the world’s oldest currency. You will get to see the historical currency in the form of coins. You can also learn about the history of these currencies and the economics of those times.
Woolly Tooth Mammoth
At The Ripley’s, the centuries-old tooth that belongs to a wooly mammoth is leaving all the visitors in awe and surprise. It was a prehistoric relative of an elephant that wandered around in America and Russia 20,000 years ago. Despite being a humongous creature, it only had four teeth. Another trivia is that it was purely vegetarian.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Tyrannosaurus rex skull casting is also present in Ripley, which is one of the most famous dinosaurs among children. It is the most gigantic dinosaur of its time and could grow 40 feet tall and weigh over 15,000 pounds.
Giant Pin Art
Besides exhibitions, there are some exciting activities in Ripley as well. Giant Pin Art is a fun and tactile activity. When you press your body or a body part into a pin wall, it creates a 3D impression of it on the opposite side.
