The Best Museums

National Museum of Singapore. Images of Singapore (Sentosa Island, Singapore): After a 3-year restoration that cost S$132.6 million (about US$85 million/£38 million), this historic building has reopened and expanded to more than twice its original size, featuring state-of-the-art multimedia exhibits. They've done a fantastic job.

Asian Civilisations Museum: This extremely well-presented museum documents the evolutionary and cultural history of the region's major ethnic groups. A very informative afternoon.
