Claude Monet Exhibition
Finally decided to see the Claude Monet exhibition this afternoon. It’s my first time seeing an exhibition of an impressionist artist, not to mention one of the pioneers of the field. I didn’t seem to be too impressed with the impressionist paintings, but I was really captivated by the life of the artist. According to […]

Time

By chance, I stumbled upon an exhibition called “The Mind Painter” showing off works of the artist Tam Man Ling. The collection […]

I picked Wednesday because that’s when many museums here are free. Kicked off my first visit to see Creating a World of Compassion – Imperishable Affection: The Art of Feng Zikai. […]
