Greek Gods & Goddesses



Managed to catch the exhibition of the ancient Greek artefacts at the National Museum, before they were returned to The Louvre. As it was the 2nd last day (15 March) of the exhibition, it was pretty crowded. Probably because of the way the exhibition was set up, and the crowd, i didn't really get immersed in the "Ancient Greece"... y'know, the kind of feeling when you visit those museums/exhibitions in Europe where it's usually very spacious and quiet. It's a pity... i'm sure the ambience and experience would be totally different if it's in The Louvre. :P
Hehe.. so Bimbo, learnt that
Socrates is Plato's teacher, who in turn is Aristotle's teacher, who in turn is the teacher of Alexander The Great!
It's been a looonng time since the last time i was at the national museum, probably one of those excursion with the class during primary school days... and all i remember about the museum was it being dark, eerie building. Very impressed with the renovated museum, especially the extension at the back of the building. =) Especially like the swinging Red Lanterns. Cool. =) The kidz were more excited with that magnetic wall with colorful pots & pans stuck to it. :P
