We decided to visit the Singapore National Museum on our second day to witness the rich culture and tradition of the country from the very start. We rode the MRT from Farrer Park and get off at Dhoby Ghaut Station. We passed by the Plaza Singapura and trudge the way to the Singapore National Museum.
I have never been to any museum. For me, museum will just make me bored and sleepy. Yet, Singapore Museum is different! After paying the entrance fee of 10sgd, we were handed down of a remote control. The control is very important as we stop in every station inside the museum. It works as a tour guide. When you press the number, it tells something about the station to where you are in. The control needs to be returned after the tour.
Aside from the remote control as a tour guide, another thing that fascinated me was the music area. I had seen two Chinese kids as they enjoyed listening to the song while dancing. When they were gone, I substituted them. The songs they had were really wonderful.
The third which captured my attention was the big television screen. It showed the classic movies. In this area, you can sit and relax as you relish the movie scene.
There are so many things found inside the museum which may amuse you such as the jewelries, crowns, clothes, cloths, and a lot more. Allotting half of your day is not enough to see all the exhibits and cherish the time you spend in each station.
On our way back home, we passed by the Singapore Management University. It is one of the top universities in Singapore.
Across the SMU is the Singapore Art Museum.
