The ArtScience musuem and the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore

            The ArtScience musuem and the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore, as viewed from the water of the Marina (we were on a boat cruise around the Marina area, looking at the various tourist attractions as visible from the water). These are two of the striking buildings in the area (along with many others).
This is a very interesting looking building, located right in front of the Marina Bay Sands. The shape of the building is like a water lily, with 10 petals, and is designed by Moshe Safdie. The museum has a total of 21 galleries, with these galleries covering a range of subjects such as architecture, art, and can be modified depending on the current exhibitions. The ArtScience museum has been designed to be environmentally friendly, with natural light providing a lot of internal lighting, rain water being used for various purposes, and so on. The ArtScience museum is open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM. 
The Marina Bay Sands is a integrated resort and a huge complex. It is located at a prime location in Singapore, next to the Marine Bay and is a huge tourist attraction. With its three towers, a unique Skypark located at the top of the 3 towers, and multiple other facilities such as a large casino, a 2500 room hotel, an exhibition center, theaters, an observation platform located at the top of the building, an attractive 146 m infinity pool located at a height of 191 meters above the ground, a museum, and lots of shopping. The casino draws thousands of people every day (even though Singapore residents have to pay to access the casino while entry is free for foreigners). There is a canal running undernear the Marina Bay Sands in the shopping area, and boat rides are offered to tourists (and when we were there, there was a queue for these rides). At the end of the canal, there is a large bowl shaped structure, built by the US artist Ned Kahn. Flowing through a 22 meter wide whirlpool, the water falls 2 stories below to the canal below. The Marina Bay Sands is close to the Singapore Flyer, is on the routes for the sight-seeing bus. Another attraction is the sound and light show that happens in the evening.
