A Father and Daughter's Fantasy Collection

The Portals Experience is a big show with many fantasy things.

It is at Fever Exhibition Hall and has over 13,000 square feet of space.

There are more than 3,000 books and 10,000 small toys and collectibles.

People can see things from Greek stories and other fantasy worlds. There are also detailed models of cities.

A father and daughter, Scott and Shona Graham, made this show.

Scott has been collecting fantasy things since he was 12 years old. His daughter helps him with the show.

Scott grew up in a small town in Scotland with not many people.

He said his town was small, but he read many books and went to many places in his mind.

There were no bookstores, but a special van came to town with books and other things to read.

Scott read about many fantasy worlds, like Earthsea and Middle-earth.

He said books helped him travel to many places and feel many emotions.

When Scott was 12, he found a book that changed his life: The Sailor On The Seas Of Fate.

This book made him want to read and collect more fantasy books and magazines.

Scott has thousands of books and magazines and took them with him when he moved to Singapore.

His children grew up with his love for stories.

Shona, his daughter, said she got many books as gifts when she was a child.

She liked the books, but she loved art more.

Shona said art brings fantasy worlds to life and is very beautiful.

Scott had a dream to make a big show with his collection, but it took a long time.

After he retired, Scott decided to use his savings to make the show real.

Shona quit her job to help her father make the show happen.

They started a company called The Imaginariad to make the show.

Their goal was to celebrate human creativity and make a special experience.

They talked to many people to make sure the show would work and contacted authors and artists.

Planning the show was a fun experience for Scott and Shona.

Shona said she never doubted her father's idea and was happy to help.

Scott said he was proud of Shona and couldn't have done it without her.

The people they worked with liked Scott and Shona and their close relationship.

The show, The Portals Experience, cost a lot of money to make and will run until September 2.

It only shows a small part of Scott's big collection, which has over 30,000 books.

Scott wants to take the show to other places, but he also likes it being in Singapore.

Scott and Shona want to add more things to the show, like Japanese manga.

They know the show is mostly about Western fantasy, but they want to add more diverse things.

Scott's son likes Japanese manga and tells him about the stories.

Shona wants to see the show grow and is happy with what they've done so far.

Scott said the show is a celebration of human creativity and he measures success by people's happiness.

He likes seeing people enjoy the show and feel nostalgic.

Scott also likes seeing children's eyes light up when they see the fantasy worlds.

The show is at Fever Exhibition Hall and tickets start at $26 for adults and $17 for children.

People can buy tickets on the official website.
