Overview
Elaborate calligraphy inscribed on the raw cement floor and beautiful ceramic frescos greet you as you enter the Tan Swie Hian Museum. Probably the only privately owned museum in the world featuring works of a single living artist, it carries contemporary paintings done mainly in oil and Chinese ink by the eminent local painter, Tan Swie Hian. Besides being a Cultural Medallion artist (a prestigious recognition by the local government), he has also been awarded France's Chevalier de L'Ordre Nationale du Merite. Admission is free.
I have never seen anything so ugly before! I can hardly believe that some people would paint those rubbishes and yet another will spend money to set up a place; to keep and worse, show those cultural junks to visitors! From these so called “Arts", it is not difficult to tell that the so called artist knows practically zero about what painting is; not even the most basics of a beginner. I think this place did very well in ruining the reputation of Singapore! Tan Swie Hian should repent and stop making use of Buddha in his tasteless ventures. He should stop his practice of defiling the teaching of Zen!
this is like my dream come true,this visitation which i will never forget. i wish i will go back soon for one more time.the works are so uniqe and original.
