The museum is a wonderful place for you to find good art pieces to look at, and they constantly update their collection with art pieces, sculptures, abstract drawings and monuments of the art world the world over. Recently, the National Museum of Singapore worked closely with the French Government to bring over pieces of art from the famous Louvre in Paris. Singaporeans, for the first time ever, were able to be enthralled by the famous art pieces that stretched from the Renaissance Period where art and culture exploded in Italy.
Works by Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh and other luminaries of the time were transported with care across the ocean and were placed in the National Museum for all to see. Singaporeans and expatriates alike flocked to the centre of town where the building was located and it was packed to the rafters for days on end. Anyone who would say that art and culture has yet not found a place within the chaos of our eclectic and modern society would have been speechless as long queues were forming just for a peek of some of the famous and multi million dollar works by some of the best painters and artistes the world has ever known.
There was also the history of Singapore exhibition in sight and sound done splendidly in the same location – audience was taken through a visceral performance and exhibition with music, painting, sketchings and old ‘headstone’ of that era bathed in iridescent light. These are just some of the examples of art exhibitions you can find in Singapore. If you are looking to buy, then private art galleries galore offer you paintings by famous regional artistes from Hong Kong, Korea, China and even India. If you have the money to view and buy, then hop down over to the MICA (Ministry of Information, Culture and the Arts) Building just opposite of Clarke Quay and you will find a whole host of art galleries for you to quench your creative thirst.
These galleries represent some of the works by Asian and Middle Eastern Artistes and they range from paintings, ornate furniture and even abstract art in all its forms. Prices range from below $1000 and can go all the way up. Art is about passion and not many people can put a price to that. If you feel that a work is worth its weight in gold and you have the money to spare, then you will be able to adorn your house with a work that spoke to you. Not only limited to this building, there are plenty of private exhibition houses like the Armenian Church, Takashimaya, Asian Civilisation Museum etc – just to name a few. This may be a small country but it is one with a taste for art and all its forms, as the population slowly matures even more with age and time, there will be many more outlets where the voices of the world will be seen and heard by Singaporeans.
