I was never a fan of museums.
My impression of museums: boring, repetitive,
stuffy, old
And I HATE wax museums… those uncanny wax
figures creeps me!
(except for Madam Tussauds because I know the
wax characters so it becomes funny rather than scary- haha)
So when mo asked me to join her for the Night
Festival, I had my reservations.
The Night Festival totally changed my
perception of old, confined and boring museums.
It was a wonderful experience!
Bras Basah (where most of the museums were) lit
up through the night!
Admissions were free to all public museums
during the few days.
We visited the 3 museum along Bras Basah and
Victoria Street.
Walked a lot and saw lots of pretty stuff!
Singapore National Museum
Gold Rush: Treasures of Ukraine exhibition
Look at those gold pieces!
Ancient ceremonial horn
Bronze incense burner
The Wedding Dress exhibition
Just the thing for a bride-to-be =)
200 years old dresses!
Believability well preserved!
Ancient women are so chibi... dresses are short and EXTREMELY SKINNY!
Days when laces like this was popular... everyone looked like lamp shades! Haha..
Very nyonya style gown
Corset for incredibly skinny women
Love the details... reminds me of Titanic
Pretty wedding shoes!
Ancient women have really narrow feet!
Highlight of the exhibition... this was the beginning of wedding gowns with long train.
This train is 3.5m long (if I remember correctly)
Winter and retro wedding outfits
I love the retro one... I thought it looked more futuristic than retro though
Sexy night gown for after wedding activity? Lol..
One of my favourite
Singapore Arts Museum
Fun fact: do you know this building was the former SJI?!
Shadow works reminds me of the 3 imps from Brave *points below* Lol
The way we interpret this piece of work was rather erotic.. lol..
