Learning Journey @ Singapore History Museum

Hi everyone! This time, I'm going to blog about the learning journey we went to on Monday. We left the school at about 1.15 pm, reaching the Singapore History Museum at about 1.45 pm. There, we were briefed on how to use the Companion and were each given a pair of headphones. Then, we were led into this very dark and gigantic area with screens all around us. After walking down a spiraling ramp, we headed into the History gallery, which was way darker than I expected. There were countless exhibits and artifacts there. If we wanted to know more about the exhibits in that certain area, we just looked for a number on the floor and punched the number into the Companion.
Most of the exhibits there were mainly about the fall and rise of Singapore. There was this really cool machine gun that was on display. It was retrieved from a British ship that was sunk by the Japanese. After about an hour, we had to return the Companions at the exit. Then, we headed of to the Singapore Living Galleries, where we learnt more about the food, fashion, films and wayang of the time. We learnt how the foods and fashions were like in the past, and we also got to see this Malay horror movie.(No one screamed though. Strange. When people watch horror movies, they usually scream their heads off, unless their brave enough.) We also got to look at some cool stuff that were used in the film industry and some costumes and props used in the wayang.on
All in all, it was a wonderful learning experience for everyone. I hope that we can go on more learning journeys in the near future.
