[Wrote on 27 Feb]
Forgot to mention that i went to the museum cos it's open house at the Peranakan Museum! i.e. FREE entry! Well, the permanent exhibits are still the same i think. Anyway, i was there for the visiting exhibition "Serenity in Stone: The Qingzhou Discovery". The 35 sculptures displayed were estimated from the 6th century. They were discovered in 1996 in Qingzhou (hence the no-brainer name). These Buddhist sculptures were amazingly well preserved. The best part about open houses is that there are lots of guided tours. The worst is of course the crowd!
The exhibition is on till 26 Apr 09. Strictly no photography.
