Many superlatives can be used to describe the city-state of Singapore: modern, eclectic, and diverse just to name a few. One that should never be applied though is shy.<\/p>\n

Everywhere you look in Singapore are the sometimes subtle, usually not, signs that this is a great country and that its citizens know it and are proud of it. And they should be. As 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

No where are the tremendous achievements of this small, but mighty, island nation more apparent than at the Singapore History Museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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
