National Museum of Singapore

This is probably the 2nd time I have visited the National Museum. The first when it has reopened after renovation on Dec 2006.

There is no public carpark within the premise. The best place to park is at Fort Canning and walk across the road to the museum.

The dome from a 3rd floor window.

The glass roof acts as a light well, illuminating the space with natural lighting.

The museum is built in 1887. The new interior decor is a mixture of neoclassical decor style and modern glass structures.

The glass covered walkway links the original building with the new extension.
