Quest for Immortality-Visiting the National Museum


Took a trip down to the Singapore National Museum today for the "Quest for Immortality-The World of Ancient Egypt" exhibition. A nice chance to get out of the humid weather and who would miss a chance to see mummies? Went on a guided tour before striking out on my own. The exhibition is not exactly large, but there's enough artifacts of substance that it is worth the half price of admission (half due to discount from credit card purchase).

As a bonus, there's a "The Bag" exhibit which looks at paper bags in Singapore. Sort of nostalgic and retro at the same time looking at those paper bags. A certain reflection of how consumerism and life has changed in just the span of 50 years.

Head to Flickr for more pix of the exhibits.
