Images of Singapore is a historic museum that is located in Imbiah Lookout in Sentosa. The museum provides an insight into the history of the country using multi-media displays, multi-screen theatre presentations and lifesize tableau.
The exhibits at the museum offer a chronological display of the history of Singapore, including pre-British period of Malaysian rule and British colonialism. Further, one can also learn about the founding of colonial Singapore by Thomas Stamford Raffles, the Japanese occupation and the post-colonialist era under Singapore's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
The museum was opened in 1983. In 1994, the museum was extended to include a section called Festivals of Singapore. The museum was awarded the prestigious Thea Award in April of 2006 for 'Best Reinvention of a Cultural Heritage Centre'.
To reach the museum, one can take the monorail and alight at Station M4. The Blue and Green Line Bus from Singapore mainland also connect to the museum. Alternatively, Cable Car from either World Trade Centre or Mount Faber can also be taken.

The best of Sentosa Islands
|
|
At the Sentosa Islands, I plan to catch the following (other than Universal Studios, of course) based on general public feedback.
- Sentosa CineBlast + Desperados - 2-IN-1
- Megazip (Not too adventurous so avoiding Climbmax, Parajump, Northface)
- Luge & Skyride
- Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon
- Songs of the Sea
- Animal & Bird Encounters at Palawan Amphitheatre
- Segway Fun Ride (on secure circuit)
- Southernmost point of Continental Asia
For anyone who has covered Sentosa Islands as comprehensively as possible, could you please guide me on a few queries…
1) I have short-listed the following to save time and money. But am I missing anything really worthwhile from the above mentioned rides/shows/attractions?
2) Would I be able to cover all this within one day? Will it he a rush-n-run experience?
3) Do I need to go for advance booking for any of these rides? I plan to visit in Apr-May 2012… is that peak period?
4) What kind of transport is available within Sentosa to go from one attraction point to other? Are they really far-away from each other? Are there any shuttle services and how much would it cost? I don’t have personal transport…
5) What are the best economical pure veg food options within Sentosa?
6) Finally, how much would I compromise on the fun if I take along my 2-yr son, since I guess kids are not allowed on most rides?
Would really appreciate genuine feedback. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gaurav
