Peermont Global plans for Asian Lourve in Singapore

In its proposal submission for the Integrated Resort and Casino Gaming Project, South Africa's Peermont Global, a resort operator, plans to feature Asian arts in an integrated resort in Singapore. The company envisions an Asian version of the famous Louvre museum, with a towering icon fronting Marina Bay.

Ernie Joubert, chief executive of Peermont Global remarked, "Our project will include a museum, a gallery for Asian contemporary art. We do not intend to have another Guggenheim style museum. What we intend to do is something unique to Asia. What we would like to do is to celebrate the Asian artists who maybe currently do not have the profile worldwide."
