What are some of the functions of jewelry beyond aesthetic purposes?
In the ceramics gallery, pick one specific artefact. Reflect about what the information shared taught you about the life and times of the people of the era which it was created.
In the textiles gallery, compare and contrast 2 different outfits from different places around the world. (Hint: how are they similar? how are they different?)

There are lots of photogenic spots in the Asian Civilisation Museum. Take a photo of your whole group at your favourite spot in the museum and upload it below!

i feel like this is an interesting artefact as i dont see such depictions of Buddhism so often in singapore as sg is a multi cultural country that doesnt fixate on one specific religion

Jewelry can be symbolic and is often used in festivals and celebrations. They are also part of tradition and is passed on generations. They hold great value both in material and emotion to the people that possess them.
