Answer 1

It sounds like the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, California, although they only pose, not move.

Answer 2

I think you mean the people who pose to make a live image of a famous painting like "The Last Supper"

"A play has also been written called The Living Last Supper, in which the painting is depicted on stage and the twelve disciples break from the group individually and address the audience"

Or it might be this:

Answer 3

The description you gave sounds a lot like Daguerre's Dioramas of the 19th century, where a theater stage would be decorated with elaborate sets painted in such a manner as to give the illusion of greater depth (along with the use of mirrors, sound effects and lighting) and the actors would alternate between interacting with the set and audience and being still, essentially a precursor to the modern motion picture and providing an experience very similar to a moving painting.
