I went to this museum at Vivocity. It is a place of wonders, filled with history, landscapes and portraits. Little photography exhibitions and archaelogical discoveries are testimony to that. They even sell equipment meant for children, so that they can participate in the studies pertaining to the world's hidden wonders. Children can be egyptologists, scientists and underwater explorers through these.
I saw an exquisite medicine cabinet used to store Chinese medicinal herbs as well as photographs on the frog world. The latter was so visually spellbinding with their vivid colours and larger-than-life dimensions, courtesy of the photographers' skills.
This brings me to Solomon Lim's article on discovering. He laments on how locals go for tangibles and bargains as compared to enriching exhibitions on the wonders this earth has. I remember how people were goggle-eyed at the Siamese Twins and even at executions in ancient times. Being amongst the few appreciative people in the museum made me feel cultured but more importantly, it was a fruitful visit. My mind was exposed to the wonders of history and the natural world. My eyes beheld such awe-inspiring physicals and I learnt so much more about our earth. I definitely agree with him.
