Art Science Museum - Salvador Dali

I'm not really an arty-farty kind of guy. I may have a creative mind but not everyone can understand an artist mind. Hence I'm arty in my way. LOL...

Throughout my whole life, I dare to say that this is the second time I've been into an art museum. The first was Singapore National Museum during the Festival of Lights in 2008. Now in 2011, I've been to the newly opened Art Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands. I'm truly intrigued by MBS that I wanted to complete whatever that they have to offer. I'm left with the hotel stay and casino, I'll be checking the theater the following week.

Anyway onto the topic:

Salvador Dali

I first heard of Dali when I was in Starbucks Amazing Race, in search of Dali work in Singapore - Homage to Newton. Most of his works are eccentric and a term I learnt surreal. Dali with his iconic moustache does portrays similar surrealism and eccentricity as his work.


Another known work is the The Persistence of Memory, with his iconic melted pocket watch pieces. The painting was not featured at the museum but the elements of the melted pocket watch were everywhere. Other element that is scattered around the museum were the lobster and the Mae West Lips Sofa.

Actually, my main intention was to check out the Art Science Museum. My friends wanted to catch Dali's Exhibition so I wanted to tag along. Not wanting to be left out, I did a quick read on Dali and I managed to relate and appreciate most of his work. 

Lesson learnt:

Read up about the exhibit before going even though you'll be able to read them at the exhibit itself. The experience itself is different between going into the exhibit as a total noob than knowing some facts of the exhibit.
