See What See: The National Gallery Singapore Through Instagrams

Welcome to “See What See”, the laziest series on DANamic.ORG. Travel around Singapore and do your touristy sightseeing – all through your screen! The best way to discover Singapore is through a local’s eyes, so take a peek from wherever you are – through the magic that is Instagram embeds. Best of all: it’s all free!

The National Gallery Singapore may be just a fortnight old, but it’s already seen quite a bit. Since its doors opened on November 24, the museum has already survived a shattered glass door, crushed artistic dreams, and more than 170,000 visitors. The revamped amalgamation of the former City Hall and the old Supreme Court building is proving to be a hit (probably to the relief of the tourism board, who no doubt faced critics like “huh still got people go museum one meh?“).

But if you haven’t been, pat yourself on the back for making the decision not to squeeze with the kaypoh visitors. DANamic.ORG is bringing you all the greatest bits of the National Gallery, straight to your desktop/laptop/tablet/mobile device/PS4! So sit back (see behind got backrest first or not lah) and enjoy our curated pic(k)s – you might just see someone you know!

Little Cat wanted to see the new #NationalGallerySingapore so we’ve stopped here for a few days. She said it would be good for us to learn about South East Asian art. #blueburmesecat #burmesecat #singaporenationalgallery

A little boy ran into the frame of this shot while trying to pull a bowl out and I shit you not when I say a member of the museum staff SCREAMED. The exhibit is still intact by the way. Would have made for an excellent photo if it fell though. A photo posted by Jovi Ho (@hovsjovs) on Nov 27, 2015 at 4:17am PST
