Attractions Company Profile:
The
National Museum is housed in a colonial building with a
modern extension to the rear. The Singapore History Gallery
is entered via a circular structure in the glass extension..
You are given a free audio guide on entry and go down a long
circular ramp, exactly like the vehicle ramp in a
multi-storey a car park.
Inside
is a darkened space where you can choose to follow
either the ‘people path’ or the ‘events path’.
Unfortunately this exhibition is heavily reliant on
the use of personal audio guides to explain the
exhibits. My audio guide malfunctioned, so I didn't
get as much from it as I might have done. The space
is also quite dark and difficult to navigate around.
If you are with someone else, it is easy to lose
them.
I found the galleries on the second floor more
interesting. I particularly enjoyed the Food
Gallery, which is about street food, explaining the
history of particular dishes such as satay and laksa,
with videos showing how they are prepared. Another
room contains jars of spices which you can smell.
The Photography Gallery is about history through
family photos. The Film and Wayang Gallery has lots
of movie posters and puppets. The Fashion Gallery
has examples of different clothing designs,
including an Andy Warhol inspired Campbell's Soup
dress and examples of the different fabrics.
There is not a proper cloakroom facility at the
Museum, only unattended coin-operated lockers. This
would be OK if they worked reliably. We found that
several of them didn’t work, and we had to find a
Security officer and ask for assistance. Entry is
$10, but there is a 20% discount with a Singapore
Airlines boarding pass.
