When my photographer pal went to Bruno Gallery for a shoot yesterday, I tagged along just to see what sort of ‘atas’ places he photographs. And I was not disappointed. Unlike at museums, for instance, there were no descriptions of what each artpiece was about. There’s just a QR code to scan for each item you’re interested in. And definitely no prices. 
I suppose it’s where Crazy Rich Asians shop (yes, I finally caught the movie yesterday!) – if you see something you like, you get it regardless of the price. In this blogpost, I’ll show you three of the pieces I kind of fell in love with. 
First up, there’s this bear with a look that says “Go ahead! Take a picture of me.” So I did.
So cute, right? Because it’s a pretty big piece, I didn’t even bother asking for the price because I’m sure I won’t want to know. But I love love love the whimsical design, the take-time-to-smell-the-flowers attitude, and the sweet pastel shades which are so comforting to look at. Come home with me, bear!
And this next one isn’t a sculpture. It’s actually my photographer pal, Bosco, who was caught in action using a Spectrometer – a fancy device that identifies the lighting conditions in that space. That compact, handheld device also costs S$2,000! WHAT?! Actually, photographers should be prime targets for robbers. Because their gadgets cost A LOT OF money. My pal is often seen pulling his large luggage around filled with camera equipment. And sometimes I like asking about the individual prices just for fun, and to find out how ‘ridiculous’ they are.
I should totally ask Bosco to do a “What’s In My Bag?” post for me, and state how much each item within costs! #Idea
Here’s another piece I like.
I’m attracted to colorful stuff, really. Vibrant, cutesy, whimsical, creative stuff. This next one too…

Bruno Gallery is located at Level 1 of Tanglin Place (91 Tanglin Road). There’s a smaller office closer to the main road, and the rest of the gallery is at the back after you go past the set of escalators. Definitely drop by and visit! There’s no ‘No Photography’ sign so you can take pictures for your IG account!
