Missed these two exciting happenings? No worries, here's more on the scoop.

Experiencing Maritime At The Singapore Maritime Gallery

When it comes to maritime, many people would not be interested as they mostly find it a boring topic to talk about and it's not as interesting as other industries like finance, tech and so on. However, maritime supports us in many ways which is why there is the Singapore Maritime Gallery, a free gallery all about the maritime gallery. Here's what it's all about.

50 Years of Television - The Exhibition

If you live in Singapore, I'm pretty sure you have watched free-to-air channels on TV like Channel 5, Channel 8, Suria and much much more, right? Well did you know that TV started in Singapore in 1963 on the month of February? Before Mediacorp (the provider for all the local free-to-air channels) started, the company was known as Singapore Broadcasting Company or SBC for short. In 2013, Mediacorp celebrates 50 years of television and to commemorate this special occasion, an exhibition was held at the National Museum that talks about the history of television in Singapore. Let me give you a small virtual tour of the exhibition in case you have missed it.

Singapore Arts Festival 2012

When it comes to art, Singapore has plenty of places, museums, exhibitions and events that celebrate the arts. You can even find public artworks and public sculptures when you're in public. In today's article, I'll cover one of Singapore's long-lasting arts event which is known as the Singapore Arts Festival. The Singapore Arts Festival was founded in 1999 and it's also organised by Singapore's National Arts Council. Every year, the Arts Fest will have different themes so for this year, its theme is Our Lost Poems. I did not check out the paid performances and exhibitions of the Arts Fest but I did check out the Festival Village.

A Tour of Singapore's National Library Building

Everyone knows that the library is full of great educational content and useful resources. Singapore's National Library is no exception. The National Library is also the tallest library in Singapore with a wide range of reading materials especially reference materials. The National Library has different libraries in the building which includes the Central Lending Library and the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library. An arts venue known as the Drama Centre is also present in the Library's building along with several exhibitions and galleries. Let us get a closer look of the National Library Building.

Memories of The Malay Village

Singapore is now more mordernised and wherever you go, you'll find tall and modern buildings. Singapore used to be a village also known as Kampong (village in Malay language). The Malay Village at Geylang Serai located near the Paya Lebar area is a combination of museum, gallery, traditional shops and food court in the theme of, well, Malay villages. Unfortunately, this place has closed down in September 2011 to make way for a newer and more modern Malay community centre and heritage gallery known as Wisma Geylang Serai. Think of it as the bigger and better version of the Malay Village.

Marina Bay Public Art Trail

Art is no longer appealing to just art enthusiasts only. It seems that now art can really capture everyone's attention if done right. Artworks are displayed almost everywhere. Nearly every public place will have artworks integrated within the buildings themselves. Even MRT stations have artworks now. In today's article, I'm going to show you the various artworks that can be found around the Marina Bay area. Marina Bay is Singapore's latest lifestyle attraction. Currently, you can find world class destinations such as the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort, Esplanade theatres, Merlion Park and the Marina Bay floating platform

Galleries Galore Part 4: Marina Bay City Gallery

I believe you have already seen my previous write ups of other public galleries such as the Singapore City Gallery, HDB Gallery and the IRAS Gallery right? Today, I'm going to show you yet another public gallery at the corner of one of Singapore's newest developments, Marina Bay. It's called the Marina Bay City Gallery and talks about the past, the present and the future of Marina Bay. Let's have a look inside, shall we?

Down Memory Lane At National Museum Part 2

I have written an article about my trip to the National Museum a few days ago. I talked about my trip to the different exhibitions and galleries such as the Singapore Living Galleries: Food, Photography, Film & Wayang and Fashion along with the Goh Seng Choo Gallery. In this article, I will show the rest of my trip to the National Museum which includes the interior and exterior of the building along with my trip to the Singapore History Gallery.

Down Memory Lane At National Museum Part 1

Free public galleries are fun as you get to know more about the different government agencies and their part to play in helping Singapore. But, they can't be classified as museums. That's why today I am going to give you a tour around one of Singapore's oldest museum, the National Museum in Bras Basah.

Galleries Galore Part 3: IRAS Gallery

Taxes. It's that ONE thing that you can't avoid in life. Everyone in Singapore pays taxes. Majority of us pay the usual tax that involves paperwork. Nowadays, we can just do it online. Young people don't really have to do paperwork (like me) but we still pay taxes indirectly with the Goods And Services Tax (GST). Look on the bright side though, taxes are what help Singapore a better place. Most of the infrastructure and public works come from the taxes we pay.

With the IRAS Gallery, we get to find out about the history of taxes, the different kinds of taxes and why we have to pay taxes.

Galleries Galore Part 2: HDB Gallery

I hope you enjoyed my write up on the Singapore City Gallery, a free public gallery about urban design and planning. Today, I am going to do a write up on another well known free public gallery which is the HDB Gallery. Opened by the public housing agency, the Housing Development Board (HDB), this gallery showcases the past, present and future of public housing in Singapore.

Galleries Galore Part 1: Singapore City Gallery (Now with Video)

When you see this sign, what is the first thing that comes into your mind? Maybe you'll think, it's another boring museum. Maybe a gallery full of words and nothing else. Well, you're wrong. The Singapore City Gallery is a free public gallery that talks about Singapore's urban planning. It may sound boring to you, but trust me, this place is anything but boring.

In fact, when you step inside the buidling, which is the URA Centre, the headquarters for Urban Redevelopment Authority, you may come across an exhibition about architecture and buildings. You're not at the gallery yet. Instead, that's just a temporary exhibition that will change from time to time.

Science Is Fun At The Singapore Science Centre

We all know that science is totally boring. We always try to pay attention during science classes but most of us just sleep through it. Yet, science is all around us. You know what keeps us from flying around? It's gravity. You know why it's so hot even though the sun is extremely far away from us? That's radiation.

With the Singapore Science Centre, science is made to be fun. The Singapore Science Centre is Singapore's most popular and Singapore's only science museum. It's located in Jurong East, the western area of Singapore. When you're there, you'll find a wide range of science related experiments and hands on activities which are fun to play with and educational at the same time.
