Christmas at the Museums

Thanks to the National Heritage Board's Christmas Day Open House, we 3 culture vultures each saved $32 of admission charges to the 4 museums that we visited today.

Since it opens at 9am, we first visited the 'Singapore Philatelic Museum'.

Next we walked along Armenian Street to the 'Peranakan Museum'.


After some appreciate of Tin Tin stamps and Peranakan culture, the 3 cheapskates, er... I mean culture vultures, decided on lunch at Wendy's as restaurants in museums looked pricey.


We then walked to the Singapore Art Museum just across the road.

Saving the best for the last, we queued for about 20 min (you see, we were not the only cheapskates) to enter the National Museum of Singapore to view a small selection of paintings, photographs and drawings from the  Musée d’Orsay, Paris.


The 3 culture vultures certainly enjoyed their Christmas at the museums on the cheap 
- goes to show one can satisfy aesthetic needs before safety needs!
