We met for lunch at City Hall before starting our walk towards the National Museum of Singapore (I took a map from the front desk of the Swissotel). She had found out from her colleagues about the Children Season with all the fun filled activities for kids.
Unfortunately, the Children Season was over so we only managed to take a quick peak at the free showcase on exhibit - Tracking Memories
Outside the National Museum of Singapore
We were told that it was the last day of the Children Season at the Singapore Arts Museum so we made our way there by foot
Ray was given stickers to help decorate the elephant
And there were lots more exhibits and fun stations for Ray
Velcro - Dress up the dolls
Stencil Coloring
Train tracks
Even I had fun goofing around...
Mummy Dearest!
Afer that, we made our way to the Peranakan Museum - I'm fascinated to find out more about their history and culture and I absolutely love the kebayas!
They had costumes available for photo taking
Do I look like a Nonya?
Next up was the Philatelic Museum
We learnt about Philately, Communications, Taking Flight (Singapore 100 years of flight), Sun Yat Sen
And they even had a small section on Bunny land - probably dedicated to the year of Rabbit
Last stop was the Asian Civilisation Museum (the furthest of the lot) but one that I wanted to go to nonetheless.
We got there at 6pm, only an hour before they closed so we did not manage to spend enough time going through every exhibit.
They had a special exhibit on the Terracotta Warriors (a bit on the First Emperor's grave discovery).
There was lots to see and even exhibits where you can "take photos" and learn about the different cultures and religions that make up Asia
We were exhausted by the end of the day but we enjoyed a beautiful view of the city skyline at sunset as we walked along the Singapore River (at Clarke Quay) and got a cab outside the Fullerton hotel
What a productive day!
