It seems like an array of fascinating museum exhibitions has recently opened in Singapore and, with International Museum Day coming soon on May 18, it’s the perfect season to visit our galleries for a weekend of surprising discoveries.
Here are a few of the most inspiring exhibitions around the island that Weekender has found. Take your loved ones to see these eye-opening exhibits soon.
The “Reframing Modernism” exhibition at National Gallery Singapore features famous works, such as Picasso’s “La Chatte Et Le Coq” (1953, far right).
Admire Picasso & Matisse masterpieces
Earlier this year, National Gallery Singapore opened its first international co-curated exhibition, “Reframing Modernism”. Held in partnership with Paris’ Centre Pompidou Art Gallery, the showcase includes works by famous artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Nguyen Gia Tri.
Head to Gallery 3 to view Picasso’s masterpieces including “La Chatte Et Le Coq” (1953). The exhibition also showcases the largest-known art piece that Nguyen hand-painted on lacquered wood, “The Fairies” (1936), complemented by Matisse’s “Interior in Yellow and Blue” (1946).
“Reframing Modernism” is open until Jul 17.
