National Museum of Singapore

National Museum of Singapore..

I went to the Museum for the Museum Night Festival and ended up only seeing the exhibits.. It was a pleasant surprise as I went without recieving any reviews from friends or family.. The moment I entered the building.. I saw a short queue to the History gallery.. As the typical Singaporean, I queued without even thinking what I was in for.. When it came to my turn to enter the gallery.. I was passed with this companion that have tons of information and tracks.. as you proceed into the gallery.. there are numbers on the floor and beside the exhibits.. one could just key in the number and there will be a narrative of the exhibit which is damn cool la!

I spent quite some time snapping pictures.. as the museum disallow tripods in the gallery.. I had to still stand hoping that my hand does not tremble too much.. looks like I can handle 1/5 seconds of shutter speed.. :)

Enjoy the pictures..

Kudos to National Museum of Singapore.. It was a pleasant experience..
