It's the school holidays and we are due for a museum visit. Brought them to our country's oldest existing museum, the National Museum of Singapore.
It's easily accessible by train and free admission for Singaporeans.
We reached at 12pm and it started to pour.
I love the facade of the building...
...especially how the dome looks like from the inside.
Leah was fascinated with the spiral staircase which leads to the roof.
My personal favourite: Gallery 10.
It's an experimental space where traditionally binary ideas of art and science meet.
It's dark inside Gallery 10.
I love it the moment I set my foot in it.
The wall art mural painted in familiar parts of our neighbourhood has come to life. Lots of colourful bean sacks for your lounging pleasure. I could stay in there forever
I took some boomerangs of the animations at Gallery 10. Definitely nostalgia for those who lived the 1960s Singapore.

Helping to inscribe the Hawker Culture onto the UNESCO list. To meet this target, we need to submit these nomination dossier to UNESCO by March 2019!
Hawker food has been a familiar and unique part of Singapore and we need to nominate it as our multi cultural identity on the international stage. My Mr Chicken Rice boy had done his part.
Let's support Singapore Hawker Culture, and give appreciation to our hawkers and their fare.

The children were blown away by this larger than life, interactive digital art installation.
Having our break at Food For Thought.
She chose the Creamy mushroom pasta from the kids menu.

Nice ambience to just have a cuppa and chill
When food coma kicks in
Spent a good 4 hours in there, but still didn't manage to see everything. We need to come back for another wondrous adventure soon!
