The National Museum of Singapore is a national museum in Singapore and is the oldest museum in Singapore. Its history dates back to the year 1849 when it was started as a part of a library at Singapore Institution. After quite a few relocations, the Museum was relocated to its stable site at Stamford Road at the Museum Planning Area in the year 1887.
The museum emphasizes on the exhibits that are related to the history of Singapore. The Museum was named the National Museum of Singapore in the year 1965. For a brief period between 1993 and March 2006, this amazing museum was known as the Singapore History Museum. Later this museum reverted back to its old name. The museum also underwent a three and a half year restoration. Late the museum was reopened to public on 2nd December in the year 2006. On 8th December of the same year the Singapore History Gallery also opened in the museum.
This museum is a must see destination during you stay in Singapore. If you are really interested in knowing about the places in Singapore then you are sure to find this museum quite amazing. There are a wide range of exhibits in different categories in this museum. Here you can have a wonderful time seeing all these exhibits and gather updated knowledge about them.
When we first got there, we were introduced to an electronic gadget called The Companion. And it was going to be our personal "tour guide" for the day. As we walked on, there would be numbers indicated on the floor so that we can listen to the extra information on the exhibits.
