Skywatch - ArtScience Museum, Singapore

When in Singapore, it will be hard to miss the ArtScience museum which seems to dominate the skyline in every direction. Boasting an iconic lotus-inspired design, the amazing museum symbolizes “The Welcoming Hand of Singapore” to visitors from across the globe.

Here are some photos captured at three different spots at different times of day.

Bonza photos. The museum building reminds me of a flower in full bloom. I've turned off WV so it should be much easier to post a comment now :-).

It's a very beautiful building. I like photos of modern architecture and it seems that Singapoore has a lot of such places.

What a stunning structure. It seems as iconic as the Sydney Opera House! I think my favourite out of these 3 photos is the middle one. I have a weakness for the colour blue anyway but I love the buoys in the foreground and the wheel in the background. Great photo!

I love that your series of posts has made me want to revisit Singapore. Due to the generosity of the Singapore tourist board when we visited (discounted hotels for stopovers, free travel on MTR and bus and free entrance into everything), we thought we'd seen everything this little city state had to offer but I can see that it is definitely worth another visit.

It looks a little like a flower at twilight, a spaceship during the day and a satellite beaming lights into the sky at night.
