Of Mona Lisa and The Science Centre

Mona Lisa is a 16th century portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. Currently owned by France and placed in the Louvre in Paris. I saw Mona Lisa today. not the actual painting but a replica of course.

For those that who doesn't know, Mona Lisa is painted using a method called "sfumato" . Looking up close at the Mona Lisa, I see intricate details of the painting. What is she thinking during that time? I wonder. Guess this would always be a mystery to the world after. For those who wants to know more about Leonardo Da Vinci, Do go to the science centre to view the exibit.

And the Science centre... Its somewhat different, but still similar in some sense. Alot of new things but theres also alot of old stuffs. Those who remember the tesla coil, and the smoke machine, its still there. New things such as robotics, genes, maths were being displayed.

And on a side note, I cannot believe that the science centre has so many visitors as compared to the SDC. I have to queue for some time to get the tickets and there is not one, but 3 ticketing booths to choose from.
