National Art Gallery and National Theatre

Susurmasa Timelines, the 50th anniversary exhibition of the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur is divided into six sections: Prehistory and Indigenous (strikingly Polynesian and Native American elements in early Malaysian design), Empires of Maritime and Commerce, Illustrated News, Malayan Beauty (mainly portraits of women), Iconic Works, and Contemporary.

There were many children literally running around the gallery, which was good and bad. Perhaps they were too young to appreciate the art but maybe exposing them to art would be good for them later on. *fingers crossed*

I thought that considering batik and digital photography as art forms alongside paintings is a step in the right direction. My favorite piece: Lee Kian Son's Yee Yang Series "Soul and Form" from 1973.

The nearby National Theatre has a roof worth photographing.
