Hi! Long time no post! I am back with a good news.
Has anybody been to the national museum? Well I went there on the 7th of June. I know is far behind time.
Anyway, I went there. The first thing that greeted me when I entered the hall was a enourmous and gigantic statue. It was a statue that is 8.5m tall. It is a fibreglass statue wrapped in kebaya or traditional Indoenasian women's blouse.
There is a very interesting gallery which I like very much. It is the Singapore History Gallery. The Singapore History Gallery adopts a story-telling approach, unveiling different perspctives as you travel through tales of the past. To let people appreciate the struggles that early settlers had to overcome, it will take you through the drama of major national events as well as the personal stories of individuals. You can select your own 'path' into the past. It is very thrilling as you just wonder what you will see next. The evens path traces major events and characters that were part of Singapore's history, while the personal path tells the stories through the eyes os the man on the street. With the audio-visual companion that comes in four different languages, listen to interesting insight and quips of your choice to complete this refreshing and enriching journey.
The Singapore Living Gallery are divided into four different rooms:
1) Food - Eating on the Street
2)Film and Wayang - Scripting a new life
3)Fashion - Shopping for identity
4)Photography - Framing the family
There are also other activities. I think both parents and kids will enjoy the trip just like me!
