    I spent 3 hours in Singapore History Gallery it shows how Singapore becomes the Singapore we know now, it’s such an amazing gallery!! Unfortunately by the time I went there it only had Singapore History Gallery and Glass Rotunda for General Admissions, I’m pretty sure I can spend all day in the museums if more gallery open.

    Spare 2-3 hrs for the visit. The history of Singapore’s foundation and the development in each era is very interesting. I am impressed by the small interactive exhibition and manage to add a nice fresh grass smell to the exhibition about trees and gardens. Highly recommend to visit especially if you are into history.

    Went to the National Museum of Singapore for the “Now Boarding: Experiencing Singapore through Travel” exhibition back in June 2023. It was really interesting getting to see how the seats of an airplane looked back in the 1800s-2000s as well as the uniforms worn by the air stewardess during that period of time. The place was also clean and well maintained.

    All about Singapore, the timeline up and down of Singapore until today.Time is really well spent while in Singapore. The museum shows you the history of the place from 1400 to current days. Highlighting the major actors who contributed to what Singapore is today, to the main events that took place. After completing the visit, you can have a good understanding of the geographical importance and why so many kingdoms have tried to gain control over the area.
