Singapore Diary - Library Finds at the National Library

Library Finds exhibition is on the ground floor of the National Library Building in Singapore. I'm a sucker for ephemeral objects and I loved this display which included posters, magazines, letters and even restaurant menus.

I mentioned in my previous post that my visit to Singapore's National Library made me think of the upcoming Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, and I hope the library will have a section dedicated to ephemera and pop culture from the country and from the surrounding region.
