Pokemon Go mania is real.

Now that Pokemon Go has arrived in Singapore, businesses are cashing in and the police has to issue a safety advisory in response to the foreseeable deaths/ injuries/ crimes/ sheer ineptitude on the part of the public as a result of being too engrossed in the game, an art gallery is getting in on the action too.

The National Gallery Singapore has issued an advisory on Facebook reminding Pokemon Go players to watch it when they are in their premises -- while also revealing there are two PokeStops within its vicinity.

Point no. 5 in their post reads:

5. The Gallery reserves the right to remove unpleasant and uncooperative Pokemon Go trainers from its premises.

You have been warned.

This is the full post:

Dear Pokemon Trainers

Just some guidelines to take note while you're here at our Gallery. #PokemonGo

1. Avoid straying into the art exhibitions and playing around the artworks.

2. Careful not to bump into other Gallery visitors. Look out for corners, staircases and other elevated spaces.

3. Respect visitors who are admiring the artworks, and refrain from damaging any artworks or spaces.

4. Recharge and power up – take regular breaks in between your Pokemon quest.

5. The Gallery reserves the right to remove unpleasant and uncooperative Pokemon Go trainers from its premises.

PS: We have 2 poke stops at our Gallery, go catch'em all and enjoy art at the same time.
