I am re-posting a good lobang which member abang posted in the Guys born in the 1950/60s thread. 1. Today 28 Jan 2012 (Saturday), ALL Museums in Singapore are having FREE entry. National Museum is having free entrance too. 2. Take this chance to visit the National Museum where Dreams and Reality: Masterpieces of Painting, Drawing and Photography from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris exhibition is hosted. They brought in Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. From the collection of the world renowned Musée d’Orsay, over 140 Salon, Realists, Impressionists and Post-Impressionists paintings, photographs and drawings from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century will specially tour to Singapore this year. Titled Dreams and Reality: Masterpieces of Painting, Drawing and Photography from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, the exhibition explores the reaction of man towards modernity at the turn of the century from 1848 to 1914. The changing social and industrial landscapes of Paris in early modernity forced artists and photographers to rethink their approach to the visual world around them. Their varied responses generated new ways of depicting reality and a proliferation of styles. Highlights of the exhibition include Paul Cézanne’s The Card Players, Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night and Alexandre Cabanel’s The Birth of Venus. Many other key works by forerunners of modern art such as Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, Jean-François Millet as well as female Impressionists Berthe Morisot, Marie Bracquemond and Eva Gonzalès will also be showcased. A portrait of Georges Clemenceau by édouard Manet will travel exclusively to Singapore. 3. Yesterday I took leave to visit the exhibition and I enjoyed it. My advice is to join the FREE English language guided tour at 11:30 and 14:30 where volunteer tour guide takes you through the exhibition and explain the significance of each painting. For timing of Chinese language guided tours, please refer to the museum web site. 4. For guys with NTUC Plus card, you can go on other days. As showing NTUC Plus card will get you FREE entry to this exhibition. 5. Normal entry is $11 per head.
