Voyage – William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

In „Voyage“, we travel through Southeast Asia exploring its flora and fauna through watercolours selected from the National Museum of Singapore’s William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings.

Painted in Melaka on the western coast of the Malay Peninsula, these drawings were commissioned by William Farquhar, a Scottish officer of the British East India Company who eventually became Singapore’s first resident and Commandant in 1819.

As you embark on this journey, we invite you to share in this spirit of discovery, and be prepared to be surprised by the different companions you will meet along the way.

VOYAGE was presented at the National Museum of Singapore from 19-27 August as part of Singapore Night Festival 2022
