Thai Transience

Went to the Christmas Open House at Singapore Art Museum (SAM) today. It's been a while since I visited the exhibitions (was at Dome to celebrate my birthday with the gals earlier this year). SAM will always have an important place in my timeline - it is my first company where I worked straight after university!

SAM has changed so much over the last 10 years. I thought it used to host more blockbusters with masterpieces by Rodin, Leonardo Da Vinci etc. In recent years, I could sense that it is focusing more on Asian art, especially modern art, and also showcasing more from its collection.

Free photo-taking. The backdrop kind of spoof the ongoing exhibition - Thai Transience. Wanted to capture how the instant photo transcend via my smart phone - kind of blur but it's my little piece of art! :)

Instant photo - turned out very nicely. I'm looking good! haha :P Maybe because I'm happy to be at SAM on Christmas day :)

Guess it's a good thing to share the art of our region, and I'm very proud that our museums are doing so to tell the world about our heritage. Thought it's interesting that the National Museum of Singapore and the Art Science Museum is hosting more blockbusters now though. It is a good thing for Singaporeans who may not have the chance to travel widely, as this will give them the chance to see the masterpieces. Well,I'm always excited to see Picasso/Rodin/Leonardo/Van Gogh wherever I am, be it Australia or Europe!
