The War and Beyond Exhibition
2017

To bring NUS Museum’s rich content to a wider community within the sprawling NUS campus, the structure of the exhibition had to be mobile, modular, able to change its content with ease, and easily packed for storage.

Taking reference from the modernist perspective of universality, the design of the structures was based on fundamental geometric shapes and forms. While the universal aesthetic appeal serves as a functional scaffold for the structures’ form, it also conceptually communicates how art objects are ultimately basic shapes put together to convey meaning, emotions, and beauty. Once simplified into their fundamental elements of visual art, the pieces are demystified and appreciated.

The mobile museum was first launched on 4 February 2017 at the Stephen Riady Centre, with the exhibition entitled ‘The War & Beyond: Frontline Stories from Dato’ N. Parameswaran Collection of Vietnam War Prints and Drawings’.
