Learning Journey to Singapore History Museum
Monday, April 6, 2009
The Singapore History Museum is actually part of the National Museum of Singapore. It is located at Fort Canning Road.
It was my first visit to this new National Museum. As I entered the building, I could sense that I would be getting a lot of information and knowledge about Singapore's past. We were all gathered at the entrance of the Singapore History Gallery. The guide explained to us on the use of The Companion, a gadget which would help us through the exhibits in the gallery. Everyone tested to see if the earphones and the Companion were in good working condition. When everyone was ready, we entered the History gallery which was about two floors down and around a very winding path. I entered the first number on my Companion and listened to the story about the Stone. We could choose the path we wanted to take and press the numbers indicated on the floors into our Companion. I was really amazed by the exhibits, photographs and artefacts that were on display. The information given by the Companion was very detailed and comprehensive. The story that struck me most was the one about the Girl Soldiers and how this lady recounted her experience as a girl soldier. This story, I thought, was something so interesting and valuable that I could not have gotten from the Social Studies textbook. I also stood in awe when I came to the part of the gallery where black and white footages of Singapore's people and history were projected on the walls. We also visited the Singapore Living Galleries - Food, Wayang and Fashion to learn more about what these items were like in the past and how they have transformed with the times. All in all, I feel that the National Museum of Singapore, especially the Singapore History Gallery is the place to visit to really learn about Singapore's past, way beyond what the textbook can offer you.
