A Programme of the National Museum Cin~{(&~}math~{((~}que

Coconut trees swaying in the breeze, fair maidens in sarong, sudden afternoon downpours, idyllic beaches, calm seas dotted with languid sampans, lush exotic vegetation basking in the tropical glow…

To the Chinese community, tThese are frequent visual markers that conjure up the an indelible imagined construct that , to the Chinese community, is the “Nanyang”, which taken literally, means ‘“southern ocean’”.

Revisit our collective screen memories with a showcase of films that aims to function as a travelogue through the mythical Nanyang and the Orient as viewed by non-indigenous wayfarers.
