Despite having a rather short history, Singapore has some of the best museums in Southeast Asia. This can be explained from the insatiable appetite of Singapore to chronicle and document anything and everything. Within this small island nation you can find museums not only about Singapore itself, but also the various civilisations that flourish beyond its shores, so long as it has somehow contributed to enriching the Singapore society.
