A room, in a house from 1673, where the wings of history have moved in with the present. It’s world-class art but not so strange really because it’s art dealers who live there.

Thian Hock Keng
Visited the temple, Thian Hock Keng this weekend. Turned out to be an architectural masterpiece. It plays an important roll in Singapore’s history from the 1800s. Details of the temple’s history are recorded on stone steles inside the Entrance Hall.
It was magnificent, colourful & interesting to observe the greetings & welcoming of visitors outside the entrance. The architectural wonder & the fragrant incense in the air made it to a pleasure to just stand back, take it in & observe it all.
Asian Civilisation Museum
We spent a couple of hours at the Asian Civilization Museum (ACM) recently. It’s one of the pioneering museums specializing in the material history of China, Southeast, South & West Asia, from which the various ethnic groups in Singapore trace their ancestry.
It’s a beautiful building architecturally on the outside & just as beautiful & exciting on the inside. We walked through the exhibition of Tang Shipwreck, Ancient religions & Life in Edo – all beautifully told & well presented.
Daily inspiration, appearance
Old, worn out, abandoned but so incredibly beautiful. There’s something about old buildings, it must be appearance & history through time that makes them so exciting, something you never can take from a building that has been around for a while.
