We almost skipped out on the Maritime Experiential Museum at Resorts World Singapore after our day at Universal Studios. We only got the entrance tickets for free as part of the package we paid for with the Mastercard promo. Initially, we had planned on going straight to Sentosa to watch the sunset at Siloso beach. However, curiosity got the better of me and we proceeded anyway in an effort to make our trip more "cultured". (And I thought there'd be pirates)
This being Singapore and Resorts World, the new museum is HUGE. There's a moving, talking lion (or whatever it is) head which provides the narration for the shows in one part of the museum. They also have a multi-sensory Typhoon Theatre where you can experience how it feels to be on a ship on the verge of a shipwreck when there's a huge ocean storm.
Described as an "interactive, multi-sensorial" museum chronicling Asia's rich maritime history, I have to say that the museum is interesting even for the uninterested such as myself. I like to tinker around with stuff in museums and the interactive displays managed to grab my attention.
It also doesn't hurt to have a hot mannequin around to capture the ladies' attention. Haha!
Every corner of the museum has an interesting artifact or object you can observe or play with, which makes it less boring than it should be.
After a half hour of fooling around with the artifacts, we finally legged it to the beach. Sorry culture, I'd rather feel the sand between my toes! If they had real-life pirates, we might have stayed a bit longer!
