Singapore on show through the arts in ongoing tour

Most people associate Singapore more with business than with art. But a touring exhibition - Singapore: Inside Out-is seeking to change that notion.

A Singapore Tourism Board initiative, the mobile show is part of a series of celebrations to mark 50 years of the city-state's independence from British control. It is also, in away, a marketing effort.

First staged in Beijing in April, the exhibition will travel to London later this month and New York in September, and will return to Singapore by the end of the year.
