Scenic Sculpture Hunting(Photo Ed)
Do you know that gardens by the bay is not just about scenic greenery of plants trees flowers and the 2 iconic flower dome and cloud forest?
You can actually go for some sculpture hunting around the entire gardens by the bay. But u do recommend to start of from marina bay sands area towards gardens by the bay south to ensure that you are able to cover all these sculptures located all around the park.
We only manage to find 7 sculptures in the garden but we were told there were more than 2oo over sculptures? I'm not sure where they are but the ones I found had some description on the artist impression and imagination. The walk around the entire garden can be quite huge so I do recommend to get your own bottle of water before going for this outdoor expedition.

Stunning everyday art
Address - Capella Hotel, 1 The Knolls, Sentosa Island, Singapore 098297
One of the things that makes Capella Hotel so enchanting is the collection of art works that reside on the hotel grounds. Some of these art works are themed on the everyday beauty of things close to us.
For instance, they pieced together a photograph wall of small daily snippets of things that can be found around the hotel, like the tail light of a buggy. There is also a massive metal sculpture right outside titled “Heart” as you can see the Chinese word “xin” when viewing this art work from an aerial view. Fascinating!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Design elements
Address - Equarius Hotel, 8 Sentosa Gateway, Sentosa Island, Singapore 098269
Even though Equarius Hotel is not particularly famed for being an artistic hotel, my husband and I found out on our staycation here that there are actually many elements of artistic design here that have been done superbly!
For one, their hallways have no lack of abstract contemporary paintings. Also, they have a lot of interesting pottery art work on their shelves and surfaces. Even the item used to camouflage the aircon vent is a beautifully designed work of art. Come and be surprised at their little-known but very sophisticated art collection!

Jurong Art
Jurong East is super big area where you can get lost at. It's west side of Singapore which surrounded by three huge shopping malls. Chance upon the artistic side of Westgate.
I didn't know that capitaland group shopping mall own a few art pieces. It was quite unique and there's description near the display. While reading on description, immerse in thought of how and why it was put there; I saw there are musical bells for us to try. Quite interesting marketing concept of mixing the music business with art display around it.
When I walked back to the MRT, I found pandas outside with seating area. What a creative way of filling empty space with an art! 🤔

🇸🇬Look out for the Big Fat Bird ! 🐥
#wheretogo
This huge chubby is one of the most recognisable works of art in Singapore. It’s located located near United Overseas Bank (UOB) along the Singapore River. It was created by Colombian artist Fernando Botero. It is actually a dove 🕊️ that symbolises peace and serenity. The idea of this sculpture was also to encourage people to find the joy of living and the power of optimism.

GETTY MUSEUM: AN ENRICHING EXPERIENCE
#CelebrateWithTrip
I like visiting museums. Everytime I go to places the first thing I explore is actually museum to decipher history, culture and meeting new faces. Arriving in Los Angeles gives me the opportunity to explore Getty Museum with art from Middle ages and modern day architecture and gardens. My mind is so limited to remember all the masterpieces like "IRISES" of Vincent van Gogh; "Rembrandt Laughing" and some more sculptures. Unfortunately, photos are not permitted. Everything I can remember remains in my memory. True enough, this museum is one of America's treasure.#mytripvlog#art#museums#mountainview#sculpture
