Nothing to do on this public holiday? How about heading down to the National Museum of Singapore to catch some of the spectacular costumes by Christian Lacroix? If you’re not convinced, here are some blogger reviews that should get your interest piqued:

• ab_d_rule at Fabulous Fashion For Fun says: “Everything was dramatic! The sets were dramatic and so were the costumes. The exhibition was so intelligently choreographed that it feels alive. Not only is it an exhibition on his creations but it is also a tribute to opera, ballet and theater. , On closer observation, you find more surprises like the intricate embroidery and decorative stitching.”
• Bold and Fabulous notes that there’s even a creativity corner for the kiddies to sketch their own designs with paper, pencils and colours.
• Fash-Eccentric posts a short video of the exhibition.
