National Museum of Singapore - another day @ the museum

Singapore -  The National Museum of Singapore is just a short stroll along Stamford, passed SMU school of accountancy.    I went to register to enter the museum and was told that today is free for all visitors.   "What's the occasion?" I asked and was told "It is the opening ceremony of the children's corner.

I started off at Level 1 which housed the "Singapore History Gallery" - the exhibits starts from pre-colony era, The British colony times, WW2 under the Japanese occupation, Singapore today.

Another exhibition on 2nd floor is "Story of the Forest" -  I entered 2 dark curtains into a kaleidoscope of objects and animals moving with sounds as I walked down a winding Rotunda to the 1st floor.

Looking up to the dome
Children was spread lying on every corner of the floor looking up this spectacle of brilliant play of colours and creativity.

It was well worth my time @ this museum.
