It was people galore at the museum tonight! As part of the 2 weekend long Night Festival, there's free entry to 5 museums today from 6pm to 2am!
After a super light dinner, YZ and i made our way to the Peranakan Museum - a nice quaint colonial building that was the old Tao Nan School. We were just in time for a talk by the curator, hearing some of the stories behind some of the artefacts in the museum. Good introduction to the museum and refreshments were served at the end of it too! hehe. The ondeh ondeh was very good! :p
i like the layout of the museum. Interactive and down-to-earth. It has that warm feeling to it. i think that's how museums should be. Bringing people together. Learning a little bit more about the past and ourselves. Who says museums are boring!? And of course, it doesn't hurt that my sec school was mentioned in the exhibit too. Made me feel even more at home. :)
By the time we left, it was almost time to catch the last train home! Had wanted to cover at least 2 museums and maybe even squeeze in 3 but guess that was way over ambitious!

i like this colourful mural on the second floor.
This interactive phone was on display. But i think more attention should paid to the details... Were there such push dial buttons then?!
