| Hits you right there, doesn't it? |
 |
| SHOOOOEEEESSSS!!! |
 |
| This can definitely make me happy too!!! |
Got sidetracked a bit with some daily bits I couldn't delay BUT I'm now back to them SG posts! Day Three, right this way...
So on this day the trio split up! Well since
KWEY wanted to go all solo and explore the city on her own,
JQ and I went to do one of our top travel faves :
MUSEUMS! Well, in this case, ONE museum - The
Artscience Museum.
We really set it for the afternoon since they had
Dali and
Van Gogh on display! Maybe its just me but every time I remember Van Gogh, I get a little down cause his life story is quite the tragedy and yet his talent was just brilliant. Alas, must be a genius' trend that he was way ahead of his time. Curious? You can read more about Van Gogh on a site I found which proves to be quite informative, so just click on
HERE! OH and I wasn't able to get photos of Van Gogh's exhibition (well apart from not being allowed to...) cause it involved a whole lot of technology ranging from lights to projectors to huge walls and music! Suffice to say, while it was about the artist and his works, its also a lot about the production and the overall experience.
As for Dali, it felt a lot like being in Alice in Wonderland's shoes! It was an absolutely new world walking through the exhibit with plenty of metaphors and symbols set in his art. Its like he was looking at everyday things and just saw them differently --- well, way way way different! You'll see his works as you go through the post. If you're not too familiar with THE Salvador Dali, there's more on this
PAGE!
If you happen to be in Singapore from now until October, you should definitely head over to the museum and check these exhibits out! For the full schedule details, you can check out the Artscience Museum site,
HERE.
The day's highlights had us at:
1. Shopping along
Orchard Road
2. Lunch at
Rasapura, The Shoppes
3.
Artscience Museum --- A good 3 hours of Dali and Van Gogh!
4.
Bugis Market + Bugis Junction
Cheers!
P.S. One SG Day to go...
