National Museum of Singapore to host virtual reality experience

Visitors to the National Museum of Singapore have the exciting chance to take part in an immersive learning experience that is on the cutting edge of technology. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a number of virtual reality exhibits as a part of a bold and special initiative by leaders in the museum to embrace more digital and virtual reality or augmented reality exhibits.

The virtual reality experience is the latest technologically forward opportunity the National Museum of Singapore has organized. The museum has already hosted hologram exhibits and even transformed famous drawings of plants and animals into an interactive digital experience that inspired more people to want to see the actual drawings themselves. The virtual reality event will offer a sampling of future possibilities for not only the National Museum of Singapore but for museums around the world.

For example, some visitors to the event got the chance to roam other museums around the world, seeing exhibits that they might never have had the means or ability to see otherwise. A museum in Russia offered VR visitors the opportunity to tour a room filled with statues of Roman gods and goddesses. They are works of art that Singaporeans might not have had the chance to see in their lifetimes. Likewise, another VR exhibit gave visitors a virtual tour of the historic ruins of a market in Aleppo, Syria — a site that is currently too dangerous for many fans of art and history to visit. Other experiences were more fanciful than educational — an immersive fantasy film that featured the voice work of a famous American actress set to images of mythical beasts, an experience with a UFO, and other stories.

Museum officials are also seeing virtual reality as a way to share Singapore’s unique art and history with the rest of the world. For example, visitors from around the globe could get an up close and personal look at the Singapore Stone, examining it from all angles. They could also have the opportunity to view the stone where it was found on the river, including a background of just what the region looked like in those days.

Another way to immerse yourself in art is to enroll in an art class via SGArtClass.com.
