Visit Museums near you! Now!

As a volunteer for one of Singapore’s museums, it disturbs me that many people have never visited one, or even know where they are located.

ONE. Museums are not boring.You can learn a lot about a lot of things in museums and they keep changing the exhibitions.

TWO. The tickets are not expensive, and students / seniors get discounts, and they do open house few times a year (although free entry all the time for Singapore museums would be great)

THREE. It’s not only a place to see old things or things you don’t understand. They have programmes for public, talks, film screenings, festivals, workshops, and a myriad things to match your interest.

If you’re thinking “Well I don’t think I’ll be interested in whatever’s inside those big old buildings” – prove it. Go there and take a look. If you really don’t like it, fine. At least get a first-hand experience.

It’s the INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM DAY on 23-31 May (OK it’s 9 days). See the many things you can learn about this weekend at the museum:
