Greek Masterpieces from the Louvre
Date: 9 Dec 2007 - 16 Mar 2008
Venue: National Museum of Singapore

Come face to face with the famed Louvre Museum's best classical Greek masterpieces for the very first time in Southeast Asia! On display from 9 December 2007 to 16 March 2008 at the National Museum of Singapore, these 130 exquisite treasures from the Classical Greek and Hellenistic
Art rooms of the Louvre Museum promise to be a feast for the eyes.

Marbles from the Nointel collection, statues from the royal collection, and precious vases, terracotta figurines and gold jewellery from 5th to 1st centuries BC will bring to life the rich history of Athens.

Be fascinated by Greek mythology and the lives of ancient Greeks with this exhibition of magnificent artworks, some as old as 2000 years. Definitely not to be missed!


Time certain has flown and we hope the year has gone well for you.

To usher in the festivities, museums across the island will be celebrating the Yuletide season with free entry to all NHB museums on 25 December in our Christmas Open House, and on New Year's Day as well!
