From now to 16 February 2014, you can visit Singapore Arts Museum for the Singapore Biennale If The World Changed. You get to see art works by Southeast Asian artists on their interpretation on the theme "If the World Changed".

One of the interesting film I saw is by Boo JunFeng who produced a short film of celebrating 50 years of Singapore and Malaysia merger if they had not separated in 1963. There are many impressive works by regional artists. Do visit the museums when you are free. Every Friday, from 6.30pm onwards, there is free entry for Singaporeans.
