Mythical Creatures of NTU

NTU Museum and ADM Alumni Artist Toby Tan, also known as Tobyato, are pleased to present "The Mythical Creatures of NTU". With a distinct brand of humor, wit and child-like innocence in his works, Toby hopes to engage the NTU Community and inject fun to the campus with this programme.

 In this three-part programme, Toby will take on the role of 'Professor Tobyato', and lead us through his interpretation on a once-in-a-lifetime imaginative module, "NTUMUSEUM101 The Mythical Creatures of NTU", about the mythical creatures of NTU. According to 'Professor Tobyato's' ad-hoc research findings, NTU grows and evolves with the community, almost as if it is alive. With the energy from the community, new species of creatures unique and indigenous to NTU, have also formed, grown and changed with this campus, also affectionately known to the community as Pulau NTU.

'Professor Tobyato' would like you to join him in the next five months, to find these creatures on campus and learn more about them. All you have to do, is to follow @ntumuseum and @tobyato on Instagram, and look out for updates on the module or sightings of the creatures with the hashtag #mythicalcreaturesofNTU.

 In the first activity of this module, 'Professor Tobyato' would like you and your friends to complete a survey on your favourite spaces in NTU, as well as the characteristics of animals which you like. With the data gathered, he will analyse to determine the co-relation between the energy of the community in these spaces and the evolution of these creatures. Don't be too surprised if you notice that the creatures seem to have been formed based on your inputs! 

The survey is now closed.
