βI visited the National Gallery Singapore with friends today, and it turned out to be a lovely experience. The Gallery is celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and we were pleasantly to enjoy free admission to the Monet exhibition and the French Impressionist showcase. Even though Iβm not someone who deeply understands art, I still found myself appreciating the beauty around me. The building itself is stunning and full of history, and as I read more about it online, I was amazed by how meaningful the space is. Because it was a weekday, the Gallery wasnβt too crowded, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Monetβs paintings were peaceful and charming. The only little disappointment was that my friend didnβt get to see Impression, Sunrise, the piece she was most looking forward to. After the exhibition, we took our time exploring the gift shop. I ended up buying a beautifully artistic T-shirt designed by a well-known contemporary Japanese artist, a piece inspired by one of her dream-like visions. It felt like bringing home a small part of the experience. Overall, it was a memorable and enriching day. I left feeling very happy and grateful for the visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy art in a beautiful setting.β

βI had a chance to visit NGS for "Into the Modern" exhibition and it was amazing, especially because I love impressionism. It also had great views to quite a few tourist spots, which were hidden gems. However, it was a shame that they didn't have much options for the souvenirs.β

βInto the Modern exhibition is great and well worth seeing. I found the gallery as a whole a little unorganised with no staff really wanting to interact with you unless you really forced the point. Definitely worth a visit but prepare before handβ
