It’s the Year of the Dog! In case you’re not aware: each Chinese New Year another animal from the Chinese Zodiac becomes the animal for the following year. Since february 2018 it’s the Year of the Dog! Exclamation mark, since I looooooove dogs! Who is that doggie in the window? In Singapore, this meant that […]
Into the Wild is fun for the whole family
Into the Wild is fun for the whole family My last two articles were about exhibitions that are now on at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore: Treasures of the Natural World and Art from the Streets.
