The Art Science Museum officially opens on Saturday, 19th February. A new place to visit on May. Yey! When we went to Singapore last year, this was still in construction. I was really curious since is is eye-catching and the architecture was quite superb (even if all I was able to see are steels, steels and steels).
This is a quick description from the site of Marina Bay Sands:
Embark on journeys through Curiosity, Inspiration and Expression.
Designed as a symbolic gesture of welcome to guests from across the globe, the lotus-inspired ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands is set to become the spiritual home of the burgeoning ArtScience movement, as well as a premier destination for major international touring exhibitions from the most renowned collections in the world.
Embracing a spectrum of influences from art & science, to media & technology, to design & architecture, the ArtScience Museum features over 4,600 square meters of galleries to inspire visitors of all ages, walks of life and from shores near and far.
The Museum’s showpiece exhibition, the ArtScience Gallery, is an homage and introduction to the nascent field of ArtScience. What unites Art and Science is the instinct to observe, connect, take risks and explore new ideas and ways of understanding nature’s wisdom and experiences that shape our culture. Visitors to the ArtScience Gallery will explore these mysterious connections between the arts and the sciences through three galleries – Curiosity, Inspiration and Expression – thus undergoing their own journey of creativity.
The Museum will also play host to marquee exhibitions curated by leading museums and collections. These visiting exhibitions will be recast through the lens of ArtScience, allowing visitors to experience the creative process and interaction of influences that gave rise to great moments, movements and inspirations in time.
Unique to the region, the ArtScience Museum expresses Singapore’s priorities and ambition to be the exchange capital of the world, providing an internationally renowned forum for the exchange of the latest ideas and theories. The ArtScience Museum is an endowment to Singapore’s creative class, and it is Singapore’s gift to the world.
