Life is the Heart of a Rainbow Art Exhibition

From now to 3 September, you can head down to National Gallery Singapore to view Yayoi Kusama arts exhibition. You can view more than 120 works by the artist who is well-known for her pumpkins, nets, dots and infinity rooms.

Even though I went yesterday on a weekday, the queue was massive. Perhaps it's the school holiday. As this is special exhibition, Singaporeans need to pay $15 for this exhibition. For the other general exhibition, admission is free for Singaporeans. 

Be prepared to spend about 2 hours for this exhibition as there are long queues for this special exhibition.
