During my visit, it was only the UOB Southeast
Asia gallery that I have explored due to time constraint. I was so engrossed
admiring the interiors of the old Supreme Court building and all the paintings
on display on the gallery that by the time I came out it was already evening.
The UOB Southeast Asia Gallery aptly named Between Declarations and Dreams.
The UOB Southeast Asia Gallery occupied three
floors and chronologically presented from the 19th century period to
the 1990s. It displays important artworks mostly from the Philippines, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the rest of Southeast Asia.
