10 Things I Love About The 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition

Hi Huneybees,

It's been 10 years since Iron Man first popped on to our cinema screens, spawning one after another movie, creating one of the biggest movie franchise out there that now it's been named as a universe - Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Jumping out of the Marvel Comics, are the superheroes we know as the Avengers. Whilst the cast who plays the superheroes assemble to get their very own commemorative tattoo, we the Marvel fans here in Singapore, get to indulge ourselves in the World of Marvel at the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' exhibition.

10 years, 19 movies all compacted into a gallery space within the ArtScience Museum with 10 themed sections for you to step into the MCU. I was there for a media preview, took a plethora of photos and here's 10 things I love about the exhibition...

1) Movie Posters Gallery

Every single Marvel movie poster featured alongside with a little playback, summary and categorized according to order will bring you down memory lane. Which ones have you watched before? Did you miss any of them? If I could have a special room for mementos, this dream room will definitely be the one.

2) Light Projection Iron Man

Entering the Stark Tower, stands a white Iron Man statue. The Hall of Armors pop up on the screen behind and light projection via mapping is cast onto the statue to show you the evolution of armors Iron Man has worked on. Going from Mark I to Mark XLVI, you will get to see how the pieces come together and what upgrades have been made. 

3) Thor's Hammer

Stepping out of the Bifrost, brings you to the Sakaar's gladiator scene where the iconic battle between Thor and Hulk from 'Thor: Ragnorok' happened. That may be a magnificent scene to marvel at but what's hiding at a corner is the Mjolnir. I tried, but guess I wasn't the chosen one, it's your turn now...

4) I Am Groot

One of my favourite characters from the MCU, makes an appearance too. I grooved to the soundtracks from the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and dance along with Baby Groot!

5) Opening Portals with Doctor Strange

This might just be as close as I can get to Benedict Cumberbatch! That charming Doctor Strange vibe makes him so mysterious~ Not only did I get to take endless pictures with "him", I also got a chance to practice Alchemy, bending reality and opening portals to some of Singapore's iconic tourist spots!

6) Wakanda Forever

Yes, you can travel to the secretive Wakanda without the need for your passport. At this gallery, you can enter the Panther Cave to meet Black Panther himself and explore their tech. I do love the whole setup but if there was a section for Shuri's tech lab, it will be perfect!

7) Microscopic World

I was tracing the little ants on the floor and popped into this space, wondering what is there to see. Then I noticed 2 magnifying glasses which behind stood Ant-Man and The Wasp. So, this is how small they are?! I could pinch them with my fingers! Well, prepare your microlens for this gallery (don't be like me) coz they are very detailed and you wouldn't want to miss it.

8) Thanos

At this last section of the exhibition, stands Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet, where you can activate it with each of the Infinity Stones via an interactive display. Though he is being named as the villain of the MCU, I can't help feeling in awe for this character. He had a mission and spent all his efforts to fulfill that; all the determination and "discipline" in improving and empowering himself, is definitely the kind of spirit I look up to and hope to have.

9) Group Photo

Remember that famous Oscar Selfie by Ellen DeGeneres? Top that at the photo wall upon exit with an epic MCU wefie. The whole cast of the Marvel movie series, joined with the director and even Stan Lee have all lined up for that shot with you!

10) Exclusive Merchandise

Don't rush out of the exhibition just yet. The souvenir store is there waiting and right at the middle, you can spot these black t-shirts with a number 10 printed on the back. These are sold exclusively to commemorate the 10th anniversary MCU and you can choose different designs that feature a silhouette of your favourite superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, etc...

So there you have it, these are the 10 little things I love about the 'Marvel Studios: Ten Years of Heroes' Exhibition. There are so much more for you to explore and photo spots for all your social media sharing. Be sure to head on over to the ArtScience Museum to check it out.

Experience The Signature of LG Technology At ION Today!

Hi Huneybees,

If you are looking to improve your living experience at home, a visit to the LG Signature Exhibition might just be the trip you need.

Opened to much funfare on 11th May 2017 at ION Orchard Atrium Level 1, with an orchestra, MediaCorp Artistes and two-time winner of Asia's Best Pasty Chef, Janice Wong of 2am:dessertbar, LG proudly unveiled its ultra-premium brand that blends sophisticated technology with modern minimalist designs through a showcase of its stunning Home Appliances and Consumer Electronics.

The key highlights at LG Signature Exhibition, are the two winners of Best of the Best awards at this year's Red Dot Design awards — LG SIGNATURE W7 OLED TV and Smart InstaView refrigerator — for their innovation and contribution to the design community.

LG SIGNATURE W7 OLED TV is simply a marvel, in term of both design and technology, to look at.

At just 2.57mm thick for a 65-inch model, you can just paste it onto the wall using a magnetic bracket! Built with LG OLED revolutionary pixel dimming control technology, which renders perfect black without any light leakage for infinite contrast ratio, you could actually display a high-resolution picture of Van Gogh's The Starry Night on the TV and its amazing ability to reproduce the most lifelike image actually created an impression that makes you feel you actually owned the real painting in your living room!!

While there are increasingly more and more smarter refrigerators been launched recently in the marketplace for Home Appliances, none so far allows users to peer inside without opening the door.
Featuring a 29-inch LCD touch display that instantly turns transparent with just two knocks, and come with a Auto Open Door feature that allows the user to open the door of the refrigerator with the user's foot instead of his/her hand (reminded me of opening the boot of premium cars), LG’s InstaView Door-in-Door™ refrigerator was recognized by Red Dot for successfully combining a beautiful appliance with interactive technology.

I personally like the Smart Tag menu within the LCD touch display of the refrigerator because it allows users to add stickers and tags on the screen to indicate which foods (and whose?!) are stored inside and also offers users the ability to input the expiration date of each item, so the refrigerator can issue reminders when foods near their expiration dates.

Do check out other LG SIGNATURE home appliances such as LG SIGNATURE Air Purifier that allows users to visualize air cleaning or the LG TWINWash™ washing machine at The LG SIGNATURE Exhibition that is open to public from 11 – 23 May at ION Atrium L1.

"Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art and Science of Gems" Premieres In Singapore This April

Hi Huneybees,

Exploring the worlds of exquisite jewellery and their links to minerals, as Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art and Science of Gems exhibition premieres at Marina Bay Sands’ ArtScience Museum on April 23. Co-curated with ArtScience Museum, over 400 stunning creations from Van Cleef & Arpels and 250 minerals from the French National Museum of Natural History Collection will be on display.

A first for Van Cleef & Arpels, the exhibition will feature two complementing routes to showcase the intersection between the science of mineralogy and the art of jewellery making: one route unearths the evolution of minerals from the deep Earth to its surface, and the other presents the transformation of these minerals into precious works of art in the hands of the Maison’s best craftsmen, known as the “Mains d’Or^™”.

Documenting over 100 years of history, Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art and Science of Gems is the largest heritage exhibition of Van Cleef & Arpels, in collaboration with French National Museum of Natural History at L’École Van Cleef & Arpels' invitation. The stunning pieces of the exhibition are from the Maison’s archive collection, and also include pieces on loan from private collectors globally. Co-curated with ArtScience Museum, this is the first-of-its-kind exhibition that blends art, craft, history and geoscience with the elegance and style that characterises Van Cleef & Arpels’ rich heritage.

The Singapore exhibition follows a series of seven defining themes: couture, abstractions, influences, precious objects, nature, ballerinas and fairies, and icons. In conjunction with these breath-taking creations are natural treasures and scientific artefacts from Minerals and Gems Collection of the French National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France.

One of Van Cleef & Arpels’ most striking special orders is a flying bird carrying a briolette-cut yellow diamond of 96.62 carats. In the 1930s, this unique gem belonged to the opera singer and socialite Ganna Walska, who wore it as a pendant. In keeping with Van Cleef & Arpels’ tradition of transformability, the bird can also metamorphose into a pair of winged earrings and even a brooch, while the magnificent yellow diamond can be detached from the clip and worn alone as a pendant.

Tickets for the Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art and Science of Gems exhibition will be available on April 1 at all Marina Bay Sands box offices and website. Terms and conditions apply:
