The ArtScience Museum

The ArtScience Museum may look like a lotus from far (and actually from near too) but it is not really meant to be a lotus. Instead, it is really a hand with 10 fingers joined together.

It is managed by the Marina Bay Sands and the concept of the museum is pretty cool. Most of the exhibitions are mobile and this means that there will always be something new for everybody. So if you see an interesting exhibition coming up, don’t hesitate!!! Go catch it before it is gone.

Entrance fee is SGD$30 which is not exactly the cheapest here in Singapore. If you want to maximise your time at this museum, do consider bringing a book along. There is a nice café at Basement 2 where you can chill and let time flies.

What was Dali thinking?

Is everything really what you see is what you get?

Dali @ the ArtScience Museum

The ArtScience Museum at the Marina Bay Sands is currently having the exhibition, Dali: Mind of a Genius – The Exhibition. Read all about Dali here.

“I do not understand why, when I asked for a grilled lobster, I am never served a cooked Telephone.”

From the ArtScience Museum, this is what one will get to see.

I hope I got the name of this correct, “Dance of Time”. Dali’s style is really out of this world but yet the meaning behind each artwork can make a lot of senses. Who says 12pm must be the time to eat lunch? Why can’t you eat lunch at 2pm? Time is more than the digits found on the clock.

This is the Woman Aflame. Her body is burning in flame but yet she is stepping on water. There are drawers on her body and they were drawn opened, indicating that she has nothing to hide. She is a free person.

 

Besides the Dali’s exhibits, there are 2 other exhibitions going on as well: Van Gogh Alive – The Exhibition and Shipwrecked: Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds.

Many thanks to the ASM’s team for the kind hospitality. It was definitely an eye-opener for me and I believe many visitors will learn and benefit from their trip to ASM as well.

I am glad that we have a museum of such high standard. Hopefully, MBS has more exciting plans for Singapore.
