Singapore - SAM (Singapore Art Museum)

When my husband and I travel, we enjoy visiting museums, especially art museums.  The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) was just a block from our hotel and one of the first places we visited when we arrived into town.  We were fortunate enough to go on a day that offered free admission!!  Although the museum was not very big, there were many interesting pieces of artwork on display.  We thoroughly enjoyed the museum.  Here are some pictures of my favorite artwork in this museum!  (Remember that you can click on a picture to enlarge it.)

I just love these next three paintings.  

There were part of a larger collection of about 20 paintings, but these were my personal favorites.  

The next 8 sculptures are part of a group of about 25.  Each one is only about 8 inches tall.

This BIG puppy was outside in the courtyard of the museum.  It stood well over 15 feet tall.

This piece is called "Smash the Cool!"

Apparently everyone is a smoker, even the Mona Lisa!

 

This one is called "Boom Box Liberty".

This piece just amazes me.  The entire thing is made of plastic shampoo bottle tops.  

Some are open and some are closed.  So simply, yet so creative!!

This sculpture is made entirely of shredded Thai Baht (money).

This artwork is made of small statues of Buddha.  Each one is stuck into the wall to create this image.
