KEVIN LIM

A self-taught artist, Kevin has been making art since he was a toddler. Though his favourite medium is ink on paper, he is also very passionate about building models of airplanes, MRT trains and architecture. These models are made from an eclectic mix of discarded cartons, paper packaging, old Lego sets and old toys. His current collection is so huge it has filled his entire home!

The original mosque was built in 1824–1826 for Sultan Hussein Shah, but by the 1920s it had fallen into disrepair and was replaced with the present structure. Designed by Denis Santry of Swan & Maclaren, the mosque blends Islamic and Indian architectural elements, and its gold domes — ringed with glass bottle ends donated by community members — make it one of Singapore’s most beloved landmarks.
