Philatelic museum

I thought it is a good experience to bring my boys to visit Philatelic museum since snail mails are rarely sent nowadays with the advance in technology.   Besides, stamps with pictures are not commonly seen with the machine printed stamps

The exterior of Philatelic museum.

Stickers for visitors to the museum 

At the main gallery.   Where do we go?  Wash room.   I like the unique gents/ladies sign outside the wash room.   

 
















Outside the washroom, there is Baby elephant Emily which is seen quite commonly.   Hmm... wonder why?   There is a write up on Baby Emily

 
















Beautiful umbrellas on the ceiling of the main gallery

 















On the upper level, we saw spice exhibition    


















There is a wheel which states why spices are important.    

My boys enjoyed turning the wheel round and round 



















The map on the wall shows crop cultivation area in early days of Singapore.     Png Png loves pressing the button which shows the various crop cultivation areas.   He couldn't bear to leave this station.
