The cultural trip for
today takes us to a nearby museum that premier ancient relic from a civilization
that once thrived there. Unlike many museums, both in Singapore and in other
countries, the museum based here in Chengdu is very different in terms of its
design and layout. While many simply focus on the exhibits inside, this museum
focuses equally on the outside. Displaying a very Chinese-themed park, the
museum portrays a more subtle approach towards the preservation of its history
by including the public with its intentions. I believe that this is a very
effective way of preservation as, rather than forcing the history, they allow
people to slowly create their own interest by being in that surrounding.
The trip inside the
museum was a very informative journey into the ancient history of China. It
shows that China has their own ancient civilization comparable to those around
the world like the Maya and Aztec. Their ancient relics really create an interest
in me as it allows me to ponder on how they could be made and why they are made
in that particular way. The trip also shows that China was once a very artistic
and skilled in the art of working gold into beautiful sculptures. Having an
open mind and accepting the actual facts is very important in trying to learn
another culture and not simply be fooled by perceptions.
