A Day to National Museum
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008It was Steves’ birthday on Sat. I brought him to the museum. He always has this liking to visit museum but it will never interest me to step into one. To me, museum is a boring place especially for someone who is not ‘art-y’ at all.
Well for the sake of the birthday boy and to make him happy, we visited the national museum while he actually wanted to visit the Art Museum instead…hahaha … But I told him start with National musuem 1st. Too much of art masterpieces for me, I may not be able to digest and appreciate :p
We went for the Greek Masterpieces from the Louvre. It is a rare opportunity to view classical Greek masterpieces from marble sculptures, vases, terracotta figurines and gold jewellery from the 5th to 1st centuries BC. After that we have coffee at the cafe and then proceed for the Singapore History Gallery. This is very interesting as we get to see the film making, filming equipment, fashion, music, marriages, food street, photo in olden Singapore days. From these, we get to understand about the culture and traditions of different ethics group. I enjoy the tour very much.
After the spending the whole day in the museum, it is not as boring as what I think. I enjoy the tour and learn a lot too. Even the iconic architecture and design of the museum is very elegant and beautiful too. I start to love this place
