A Night In The Museum

It was some strange event held by the museums to encourage people to appreciate art by allowing free entry to museums for the 2-night event. Part of it also gave a small history lesson to the younger generation about their parents' childhood games. The other part was about having fun - printing art on t-shirts, getting strange photos taken, and having a party in the park.

The highlight of the night for me, and I guess for the many other patient photographers, was the changing facade of the National Museum of Singapore. The normal, and rather boring, building was used as a giant screen to cast a multitude of colours that changed the concept of the museum's exterior with every slide change.

Not as impressive, but equally captivating, was the Singapore Art Museum's changing exterior. It didn't have as many colour changes as the N.M.S. but was still beautiful if you can capture the whole view. I guess not many people ended up here as they were all stopped by the party in the park between the 2 museums.
