Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition

After taking a cab back home to deposit the wedding items, we soon made our way back to Marina Bay Sands to proceed with our original plans. We made our maiden trip to Bayfront station and also took our maiden walk to the Art Science Museum. Upon reaching the ticketing booth, we were a bit stunned to be informed that we had to wait an hour before we can enter the exhibition. But on hindsight, this was a good publicity move by the museum as it gave a realistic expectation to the visitors. Also, my dear commented that the crowd control was way much better than how it was at the Science Centre, even though the entrance fees was not that much higher.

The exhibition was quite good, having a lot of artifacts on display, each tagged with their corresponding information and linked to the various passengers. I quite like the way that we were given a boarding pass with a passenger name, one who really boarded the Titanic then, and we were then asked to check if our passenger survived the disaster at the end of the exhibits. For many passengers, they did not intend to board the Titanic but by a twist of fate, they did. Guess life is unpredictable and we need to treasure everyone by our side.

While in the museum, we had a small treat to a choir performance, which I think my dear liked a lot. After buying a souvenir, we went to watch the laser show display of MBS. Guess one of the things that could have been better was that we packed dinner for the outing beforehand as by the time the show ended, there was no eateries left open and we had to cook instant noodles at home. Luckily we had a milk tea drink before the exhibition, otherwise we would be too hungry for anything.
