And they should be. As <strong>Lee Kuan Yew<\/strong>, former Prime Minister and architect of the modern Singapore, once said, in a span of a generation they managed to turn \u201ca backwater port to a thriving city-state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No where are the tremendous achievements of this small, but mighty, island nation more apparent than at the <strong>Singapore History Museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I am convinced that everything in Singapore is executed both perfectly and in the most efficient manner possible. This can be seen throughout the city from the super-efficient subway to the national airline. Of course this theme of brilliant perfection is greatly magnified in the museum.<\/p>\n<p>The museum went through a massive redesign a few years ago, and today is one of the most engaging and interactive museums in the world. Rather than just walk through a maze of exhibits and storyboards, the visitor becomes part of the experience and learns through active engagement rather than by reading plaques.<\/p>\n<p>The tour leads the visitor through the pre-colonial and colonial eras, Japanese occupation in World War II and of course details the tremendous rise of Singapore throughout the latter half of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the visit, which usually takes a couple of hours depending on your pace, you not only walk away with a greater understanding of the brief, but fascinating, history of Singapore, you also walk away with tremendous respect for and love of the tiny city-state.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/landlopers.com\/2011\/03\/09\/tribute-perfection-singapore-history-museum\">Tribute to Perfection &#8211; Singapore History Museum<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/landlopers.com\">LandLopers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many superlatives can be used to describe the city-state of Singapore: modern, eclectic, and diverse just to name a few.
