When I was a teenager, two National Museum exhibits caught my attention:
- Collections of preserved butterflies (including gigantic Rajah Brooke Species)
- A tiny moon rock donated by NASA to our former PM (from NASA's first lunar expedition)
It was a COOL learning experience. Imagine discovering science in a museum. Well, that was a decade ago.
Few days ago, I revisited National Museum in Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. I was IMPRESSED! Everything changed. One word to sum it all - MODERN. I saw interactive exhibits with high tech AV (audio & video). A creative and educational way to reach out to the public. 'Malaysia Boleh' (translation: Malaysia...Yes You Can).
I like to share with you my TOP 10 MUST-SEE exhibits in National Museum, creatively integrated in my poster. This is my first attempt designing a poster. A challenging and time consuming task. I LOVE to hear your comments and critiques. Feel free to drop your comments.
Behold! My poster.
