ArtScience Museum @ MBS
The ticket is $24 for adults, additional 20% for OCBC Cardholders.
Babe and I decided to pay another $4
for another exhibition by Salvador Dali, an artist.
We went to Titanic thinking there would be a smaller crowd
cus there was a documentary going on which may have held up some of the crowd.
We took a picture with a Captain that really looks like Captain Smith!
We were also given a replica boarding pass with real passenger names
and details, at the end of it, we can find out if this passenger survived the sinking.
The first area started with the building and design of Titanic,
important people and how it was different from the rest of the steamships.
It was mega huge and the amount of coal they use is ALOT!!!
ok, no statistics here, go for the exhibition!
Unfortunately no photography allowed in the exhibition :(
It was a really good insight on different rooms they had for different classes.
Smoking room, gym, even the restaurants are different across the classes.
They also showcase some of the utensils used, the first class utensils are more delicate while the third class are really like simple cups and plates.
They also had a reproduction of a first class cabin and in contrast a third class cabin. really quite a big difference, well explained in the ticket price too!
There was also a grand staircase that resembles those Cruise kind! but is exclusive for first class passengers. They allow people to take pics there, for a price of course! you gotta buy them :)There was also a third class promenade, open area that kinda feels real when its dark! I eavesdropped from a staff that the artefacts that are displayed are really recovered form the ship wreck! they still hold expeditions once every few years to go down to look for items that can still be recovered!
2.5hours to reach the bottom, imagine the depth, and no sunlight summore.
I really learnt alot from the exhibition! There was a huge iceburg that you can actually feel to see how cold the temperature of the water was when the ship sank.
Definitely worth the $24 + 20%(lazy to do the calculations)!!!!
DAMN COOL, babe and I sure enjoyed ourselves discovering new things together
and arguing and realising the true reason why the boat sank.
The sad thing is, metal eating organism will slowly invade the megaship.
One day it will be gone. so treasure what we can still recover now!
Anyway, the aftermath of the Titanic, i thought to myself:
Perhaps a hundred year from now, will there be an even faster mode of transport?
Maybe travel by rocket? hmmm space shuttle? who says its not possible?!!
Anw, because at the time the incident happened, probably airoplane were just invented, they weren't flown commercially, thus travelling by sea seems like the only choice. Current times, people travel by air, crash are minimal because there are relatively lesser traffic on air than on sea. While accidents still happen, jet fuel would have destroyed the remains of personal belongings of many? maybe in a hundred years there will be a exhibition of a airplane instead??? i mean i am not cursing a megacrash la, just.... I dont know!!! maybe maybe?
After titanic we went for Dali, famous for melted clocks.
Really amazing ideas and how he expresses his life through art pieces.
Different items represent different feeling. Damn cool.
but it reached a point it got too profound to understand.
woo,plus i am not a very art person.
nevertheless, it was still a good experience :)
Love it! AWESOME DAY WITH BABE!
