Babes At The Museum

As promised yesterday, today's post will be about the museum trip I went on with the girls.

Where we went: ArtScience Museum
What we saw: Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb | 50 Greatest Photographs of National Geographic | Essential Eames: A Herman Miller Exhibition
Amount paid: $24 (for an all-day adult Singapore resident adult pass)


Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb
They had a children activity pack (that's free) that facilitates learning. They have it available for 3 age ranges and the oldest one was for 13-16 (or 12-16). We're 2 years too old for it but we found that it actually helped with learning. It's an interesting and pretty well done activity pack.

I don't have any photos because photography wasn't allowed. There's a documentary that you get to watch before entering the rest of the exhibition that's 3D. I'm usually not a fan of 3D movies but this one was okay. It wasn't too much. The content covered just about enough of everything to help you make sense of the entire exhibition, which was good. Except that we were rushing for time and so didn't see everything.

On another note, I've finally seen what colour lapis lazuli actually is. Haha I mean, we've all always known it was blue but we never got to see what shade of blue it is. Until the exhibition, that is. It's duller that I expected it to be. But that particular sample is so so so so old so I'm not even sure if it's that accurate. Okay, moving on.


50 Greatest Photographs of National Geographic
Amazaballz. Simply amazaballs. I would go back if I have the money to. Go for it. It ends 27 October. In my utter ___ (I don't have a word for it), here are some of my favourite photographs that were exhibited. I'm sorry, I forgot to take down the photographer, year and stuff. Too gobsmacked by the images themselves.

And these were taken by Clara.

And here's one of Ping.

Essential Eames: A Herman Miller Exhibition
We were all pretty brain dead by then so there's not much that I can really say. But they had this booklet that you could use to shade textures. I loved doing that. It was all really interesting and we had a great time there. I think I might go back for this one. I feel bad because I'm not doing the exhibition justice right now. Haha okay, some pictures.

And to make up for the lack of a proper opinion of the exhibition, here's the link to a video from Clara's instagram (can't embed it here). These 15 seconds would probably give you a better idea of the exhibition than I can right now. And there's that shading thing I talked about earlier in the video too!
