I was reading in the newspaper today how the Arts events saw a huge jump of over 25% this year in Singapore. It is absolutely fantastic when more and more people can have an easy access to Culture. Actually, there are quite a few museums in the city with a great potential. They just lack big international exhibitions and many spaces remain underused but it is true that lots of effort are put in to attract the punters and there are many festivals highlighting the various cultural fields all year long (Many music, films, modern arts, multimedia, etc, events). There are also a non negligeable quantity of Art galleries concentrating on the local Asian Art scene, which is extremely vibrant (China and Indonesia being the two hottest things worldwide right now). Another important fact is the number of school groups you never fail to notice in the museums. In my opinion, that is the major factor to develop an awareness to Arts for the future generations.
