The Light Installation was by Electric Canvas... in the open area at National Museum on 25-26 July 2008.

Watch the facade become the canvas for creativity...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last time I went to the National Museum... hm... so many years back... years before it was closed for its make-over renovation a few years ago... Think I was still in school then...
The white majestic colonial building that stands at the busy crossroads (to Orchard & Bras Bersah)... It's a quiet, a bit cold yet comfortable... not many around in this little island...
Gigantic David welcomed us at the entrance... with his muscular look, though he dressed in pink lace here... has the Singapore weather turned it pink? hahaha.... or he's shy because of the Asian culture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was expecting to see some really museum stuff there... apart from the paintings, installations within each gallery... maybe have not given myself much time to roam around... but it was disappointing... left wondering... actually what's really unique here? what distinguishes this museum from others? Is this the same old museum that I know of? Or its good old day stuff have been decentralised? Just feel that the richness is missing.

hmm... get a day pass, take a walk around some day... you might just be surprised... personally, I like the blockbusters... the regular features were either boring (most of the musuem) or overwhelming (the history gallery with the multi-sensory thingy) Oh... but honestly, I recommend ACM, the one at empress place...
Yeap! Agree... but must take leave... to avoid the crowd...
Look forward the Biennale to come this year end...
Cheers!
