ilovemuseums4 In the midst of love, love, lovin’ our museums, I finally took a breather and sat back on my favourite red cocoon of a chair - it has been a good couple of months since I Love Museums took shape and left its imprint in all of us.

In the past few weeks, we remember museums in our own fond way. Be it events like War On Wheels, The Little Explorer’s Travels at Asian Civilisations Museum, Kimekomi Dolls at the Singapore Philatelic Museum, or I Love Museums stickers, bus-stop advertisements and giant standees - museums now storm the streets and remind us that they are as important and fun as every shopping mall we see in Singapore.

And if not all, we have even taken it online - from blog posts, twitters to online videos. Having Facebook fans and ardent readers continue posting photos and words of encouragement was an excellent source of inspiration behind the doors of NHB. I Love Museums is here to stay (for a while at least) and romance us in its own little ways.

And to begin, the first instalment of I Love Museums day happens this Friday, 27th November at the National Museum of Singapore. The first of its kind, with more in 2010 - we provide an excuse to cosy up with us and enjoy a little taste of indulgence: think wine & chocolate appreciation workshops, culture chic photography, a caricature of yourself and more.

Continue onto the next weekend of chill-out, blings and free pizzas at Flea & Music Alley on 5 December at the Peranakan Museum. We are turning the area running from Peranakn Museum, through the Substation and to Timbre into a medley of booths for a flea market, a visual feast of Peranakan jewels and finally a live music session with Timbre’s local singers Jack and Rai, Alicia Pan and more.

There’s a plethora of events that await the next two weekends! Visit www.museums.com.sg for more details!
