Friday evening at Art Museum

Yesterday was Friday. For your information, there is free admission to the Singapore Art Museum on Fridays, from 6pm to 9 pm.

There is currently a few interesting exhibitions being showcased at the Singapore Art Museum. One is Botero in Singapore, the blockbuster exhibition of Fernando Botero's monumental sculptures and paintings. The other is the one titled Russel Wong: Photographs 1980 - 2005 which showcases celebrity photographer Russel Wong's signature pieces.

I was at the museum last evening with mystic. There was quite a lot of people at the museum last evening as compared to during the museum's regular opening hours. I missed having a museum guide, and the peace and quietness that the exhibition halls had during the regular opening hours. Then again, it was good for the art museum to be able to draw such a good crowd. That is an indication that people have a growing interest in appreciating the arts.

Mystic seemed to like the oil paintings of Botero.

Yours truly was pleased to have introduce a friend to visit the art museum. Good works of art are meant to be shared.

Yet again, I ain't sure if I had been a good company when my brain had difficulting thinking last evening.

Anyway, if you are residing in Singapore and you would like to but have yet to catch the exhibition featuring Botero's works, Friday evenings are good time to do so. If you like the works, I recommend that you come during the museum's regular opening hours and attend one of the guided tours. I find guided tours to be helpful in lending you insights on how to better appreciate the artist's works. The exhibition is till 27 Feb 2005.
