National Museum of Singapore
Formerly Singapore History Museum, it has been refurbished from top to bottom and a new wing was added. The star of the show is the permanent Singapore History Gallery, a 2800-m² multimedia extravaganza covering six centuries of island history, navigated with a super-flexible, if occasionally somewhat confusing, interactive audio guide system that lets you choose the events and items to focus on. There are also four Living Galleries focusing on food, fashion, film and photography, plus various temporary exhibitions and a few nice cafes and restaurants.
Why it is worth a visit
Singapore's oldest museum, telling the island's story from ancient trade port to modern nation in an elegant colonial building.
