Exploring Art

SinGapore Art musem.

Commonly known as SAM, stepping into this gallery space with a couple of friends, I've been looking forward to visit there for a long time, the result of choosing between SAM and Art Science Centre just because I love its building which I could say is also a piece of art with antique architectural elements.

And one thing is that we get to enjoy free admission on Deepavali Day!

This venerable building once housed St Joseph’s Institution (SJI), a Catholic boys’ school, run by La Salle Brothers. In 1855, the cornerstone was laid by its founder, Father Jean-Marie Beurel. After 135 years in Bras Basah Road, SJI was relocated, making way for SAM.

Mostly contemporary pieces can be found there, current exhibition is Thai Transience, although some pieces might confuse visitors or to me, some paintings seem a little eerie and mysterious but overall still an inspiring visit. There are few cafes and restaurants that I think I should pay a visit next time.

Below are some snaps from the visit, a place that you should stop by at, besides the shopping malls. An inspiring and interesting gallery for all ages. =)
