Inside the National Museum of Singapore before I started viewing the exhibition. The red, swinging chandeliers were spooky.
This museum does not contain rooms and rooms of detached artefacts. This museums' rooms reveal the history of Singapore layer by layer, object by object, like a pentimento. You are pulled through Singapore's history one event and one story at a time. You traverse several centuries before you are gently lifted back to your own.
I asked someone at the Admission desk if photography or videography was permitted and she said yes. But OOPS this was not universally true; this salon did not permit video. I only noticed after I left. So please enjoy this forbidden video.
