A VISIT TO THE NATIONAL MUSEUM IN LONDON

A VISIT TO THE NATIONAL MUSEUM IN LONDON

Until last year when I visited the museum for the first time I did not know what a museum contained. In all civilized countries there are museums. In London alone there are more that thirty-two museums. Of these the most famous one is the British museum.

The National Museum stands in Stanford Road, beside the National Library in a spacious building. Formerly the museum was known as “Stamford Museum” named after the founder Singapore.

This being my first visit at the museum, it was indeed a thrill for me. When I was there, my mind flew back to the past centuries.

In the museum, I found rare coins, copper and brass-wares of fourteen and fifteen century Malaya. I was also much attracted by exhibits from various parts of the world. Indeed, as a Singaporean, I feel proud of our museum.
