Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore


The displays at the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore were numerous and expertly presented. We spent several hours there and could have returned another day to see more. Crafts of ancient pottery, jewelry, cloth and baskets were plentiful.



By pressing a button on the display case a photographic image appeared behind the jewelry to show how it was worn.





The museum displays were often darkened and dramatic. Gold, silver, gems, cloths, basketry, pottery, copper, statues from all over Asia, including India and China, were presented. The collection was huge and beautiful. I've posted a few pictures here and on my travel blog, I show more beautiful buddha statues.

Asian art and culture are very colorful and exotic. It's lively and vibrant and it's full of life as well.
