Art museum of Singapore also exhibits a good collection of significant pieces by regional artists like Affandi, Hendra Gunawan, Pratuang Emijaroen, Montein Boonma, Le Pho and Bui Xuan Phai.
The permanent collection is housed in two exhibitions, namely Imaging Selves and Landscape In Southeast Asian Art. FromThere to Now, based on Malaysian art and Indonesian art exhibition Soul Ties: The Land & Her People, are country specific ones.
One will definitely find an interactive art forum like atmosphere in Singapore Art Museum. Its 10,000-square metre floor space is well equipped with 14 full climate-controlled galleries, an electronic E-mage Gallery for interactive pro grammes featuring some of the museum's collection on a large visual monitor, and last but not the least a reference library, an auditorium, a multi-purpose hall, a museum shop, courtyards and a café, to chat and share your experiences and concepts regarding contemporary Southeast Asian art.
Singapore Art Museum is definitely an interesting place to visit and do check out how international counterparts are collaborating with SAM to hold exhibitions and donate its rare collections to various venues in Europe and Asia.
