Date: Sep 2014 - 16 Nov 2014
Venue: NUS Museum 

The prep-room is a space where curatorial and research processes are encountered in its evolving form. This temporary display is set up to explore ideas and themes for the upcoming refresh of the archival square situated within the Lee Kong Chian gallery at the Lobby level. The archival square will host the Archaeology Library, which will bring together finds from many parts of Southeast Asia and China. Collected by Dr John N Miksic since 1977, the items on loan to the Museum will attempt to provide an idea of the vast range of pottery and other materials discovered at archaeological sites from Fort Canning (Singapore) to Changsha (China). 
 

The Archaeology Library is available for research and teaching purposes, and invites visitors to explore the history of Singapore and its connections with the region and beyond.
