Ambient Walking 2020 Aug 28

Writing while Walking and Other Stories is an artwork by Heman Chong. The text on the wall is written as he walked from his home on Depot Road and around Singapore aimlessly for 8 hours.

Can take many many tumblr photos, especially with the special event booths going on. Nice place to chill if you have time. Free for Singaporeans. Lively place both in the morning and evening.

Marvelous exhibitions at the SAM at 8Q, an extension of the Singapore Art Museum! Located at the heart of the city, the SAM at 8Q features a lot of unique, creative and eye-catching contemporary art exhibitions about Singapore. Also, there are several interactive activities that are targeted at kids. So it's a great place for family outing! Be ready to have a fascinating visit to the SAM at 8Q!

Art films presented at SAM 8Q on the Eve of night festival were brilliant! SAM hosts one of the finest display shows on its building during nigh fest. One should Not miss it.

Although the exhibition hall is small in scale.
We really enjoyed visit here.

8Q Singapore Art Musuem is one of my favourite place in Singapore! With their creative, innovative and interactive installation and art works on display...promising hours of entertainment for the family. I am very grateful for the staffs at the musuem for this wonderful place. Definitely a place to check out constantly!

There are some nice exhibitions here at the time of my visit five days ago, ticket for 6 local dollars, relatively cheap in local standards.

You can see some artistic videos which are shown as artworks, and also some very contemporary conception and representatiom of different arts. It worths to pay a visit if you like arts especially cinematic arts. But if you just want to see some fine arts, you would need to wait for opening of the other galleries.

The main museum was nearly closed, probably under renovation.There was only a free exhibition there showing the museum history. I don't know why the art museum of such a developed state would be nearly closed anytime!

Great for kids and adults alike with plenty of exhibits that educate and engage. The interactive exhibits are popular. The little cinema on L2 plays short animated films that are rather well made.
