The National Museum of Singapore is originally named the Raffles Library and Museum. The library is on the lower floor while the exhibits are on the second floor. Reason being the books are heavy and it is wise to be located on the lower floor.
She is our museum guide (she is a volunteer with the museum). It is funny cause she is an American and telling us (Singaporean) the history of Singapore...hahaha. But there are certain things we do not know and we learn some from her but we are very familar with some of the exhibits especially those in the 50s and 60s and we actually have some of those exhibits in our house during our growing up times. Siblings and us have a fun day telling the kids about the exhibits that used to be found in our home.

I attended a meeting to be a museum guide but had to opt out as there was a clash of actvities in the training. A pity!
We have a group of expatriates who do really good job as guides at our museum too.
