This Wednesday, we went to SNM and SAM after the test. After 30 minutes’ bus, we got to the National Museum. The building is quite splendid, but not very large. We went to the history gallery, with a high-tech equipment on each neck. Although Singapore only has hundreds of years’ history, we saw a lot of historical relics, from 14th century to 20th century. In addition, the equipment on us provided us a lot of information, which made us know more about Singapore’s history as well as culture. What is different from China is that a large number of relics are exposed to the air, without glass outside. So we must control ourselves, for some are fragile so that we must pay attention. The relics are of all kinds, photos, costumes, containers, newspapers, multimedia, and so on. The most impressive ones are the photos about world war two. It recorded what the Japanese did towards the Singaporeans as well as the Englishmen. We took a lot of photos in memory of our impressive experience.
The second destination is Singapore Art Museum. We walked there. The big cute rabbit outside the Museum is an icon of it. To be honest, I do not know much about art. However, the artworks here are various, some of which are very special. One coat was made of snake skin, another one is made of mice feather, very special. Besides, there are also high-tech products which display the information in term of different places of Singapore, since we know that technology is also a kind of art, art of the natural science. We also saw the artworks of Wu Guanzhong, which were presented by him. Art is always abstract, even this Chinese master’s. One of his artworks is about Zhangjiajie. I did not know this until I saw the title, which convince me of an idea that something cannot be understood is called art.
Generally, it was a good day. Our horizons have been broadened.
