Exhibitions @ Marina Bay Sands
Friday, March 4, 2011

Lim Pei Jin (I like to call her name in full), with Ai Ping, tour guided and accompanied me to Art Science museum at Marina Bay Sands, introducing the journey on trading route known to man, naming the history of Silk Road. This exhibition not only includes information where you can read and watch through the provided video, but also interactive learning as visitors gets to smell the different types of oil which had been selling in past marketplaces, or even a hand-on of an ancient astrolabe, (an early instrument used to observe the position and determine the altitude of the Sun or other celestial body) which I still have no idea how it actually works even though I've been trying to figure it out for sometime.

Of course, there’s still a lot more exhibition and you may proceed to enjoy the collection of Genghis Khan Artifacts where you gets to travel back to the 13th century of Mongolia. Genghis Khan is not only a well known conqueror but innovators. At the end of whole exhibition journey, you will get to see paper money and passport which we guys been using now, actually have something to do with Genghis Khan, great vision indeed. Well, not forgetting the highlight, the mummy! Yes, you’re able to see the mummy of a Mongolian aristocrat (member of elite social class) with her wallet and mirror etc found buried with her too.

I've been busy lately and must have missed some detail due to tiredness. I can’t really concentrate during the exploring of these exhibitions, so I guess I’m more than willing to visit it again if I have the time. Marina Bay Sands is way too far away from my house, I always complain, haha.
