The 7 Best Museums in Queenstown, Singapore
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

The Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM) is Singapore’s first and only natural history museum. The museum, which traces its roots to the original Raffles Museum of 1878, is among the oldest such institution in the region. Established through philanthropic gifts totalling $56 million, LKCNHM aims to be a leader in Southeast Asian biodiversity and conservation research, education and outreach. The exhibition gallery is divided into two levels: The main biodiversity gallery, comprising 15 zones, tracks the history of life on earth, among them green plants, fungi, molluscs, arthropods, birds and mammals. The mezzanine floor, home to the heritage zone, presents the history of the Raffles Museum and LKCNHM. This gallery holds the “Cabinets of Curiosities” where visitors can examine Singapore’s history of biodiversity exploration; the people who helped build this; and the biological treasures accumulated over 137 years. A zone titled “Singapore Today” reveals the geology of the island and the important conservation efforts by national agencies.

As the title, I never know we have a museum with dinosaur bones. Didn’t really read the write out so I am not sure if these are fossils or constructed. Other than the dinosaur, it’s has been an enlightening trip as we get to learn about the various flora and fauna of Singapore. The write outs are not too long nor too short. Just detailed enough to entice one to read, and enough exhibits such that the trip is not boring.

I visited the Museum @ My Queenstown as part of a heritage tour in Queenstown. Located about 5 minutes from Commonwealth MRT station, the museum occupied the former spaces of a bakery and hair salon. The exhibits tell the story of Queenstown, Singapore's first satellite town when it was developed in the 1950s. There were maps and artefacts of yesteryears of the now defunct cinema and industrial estate. While the museum is small in size, it is rich in history and the knowledgeable guide made my visit a memorable one to remember.
