What do curators do? Why are 4000-year-old objects important? How do museums collect their artefacts? There’s an art museum on campus?! If you’re a NUS student or staff curious about art and our campus museum, come join us for a reprise of our semesterly Student Tours at the NUS Museum on 24 February 2022, 7-8.30PM
for a guided tour with our curators and interns as they answer your questions and bring you through the rich collections of the NUS Museum spanning over 10,000 works. Listen to intimations about the landscape as told through the eyes and contemporary worksof four Architecture graduate students, explore the convergences between the deep histories of ancient Chinese ceramics and mental wellness that our interns have found, and traverse through the many readings – feminist, speculative, aspirational – of our vast South and Southeast Asian collection.
