My Visit to the Singapore Arts Museum

In the past, I seldom went to the museums to see the opuses of art. Because when I heard the word” museum”, the first perception coming into my mind is that I could not understand what the potential meanings behind the surface of the pictures and there is a long distance between my mind and the excellent artists’ minds. So when I knew there would be a journey to museum, I thought it must be a boring journey and did not post any expectation to it.
However, when I really went into the Singapore Art Museum, I changed my bias of museums. There are really some pictures that touched me a lot and the most impressing thing in my mind is that in an area where is circumambient by a large piece of white cloth. In this special room, there is a cupboard which is full of all kinds of books. There are also several people who are drawn on this large cloth. The common feature of these people is that they are related to the books. For example, on the corner of this cloth, there is a man whose eyes are fully covered by a piece of cloth and each of his feet is tied with several books. It seems that it is quite difficult for him to move, even just a small step. When I saw this, I feel touched a lot. I admit that books can provided us with plentiful information and can give us the elder’s experience and advice. However, sometimes because of these concepts that have already existed before, it becomes a kind of constraint to block humans’ develop. In simple terms, it may be a kind of reflection of the real lives on that time.
Though there are still some things that I could not understand, but I really learnt something from this journey. Maybe I will become to enjoy visiting the museums in the following days.
