Museums are often closed at approximately 6 p.m. But several Art museums in Singapore are challenging this by staying open till 2 a.m. Why's that? Because of the Night Festival event that was recently in town!

Though the festival has attracted many foreigners, it aims to focus on local acts. More than 90% of the participants are Singaporean! The only school that teaches Circus Arts, Circus Swingapore, has joined this event as well! Light installation, experimental film and busking competition can be found in this festival!
