Singapore Musical Box Museum

费用：￥59 很小而美的博物馆，收藏了从18世纪以来的许许多多音乐盒。有中文导游全程介绍和演示，从音乐盒的原理，到它的发明和发展历程讲得非常详细。最最重要的一点，导游会把大多数的盒子都给放一遍听，相比于其他只用作陈列的博物馆来说，这点简直是良心！而且藏品确实也很丰富，从最早早期的滚筒音乐盒，到后来的碟片式，还有英国那种投币的音乐盒，应有尽有。里面最宝贵的藏品，最具新加坡特色的是一个新加坡制造的音乐盒，名字叫“De China”，即“来自中国”，是英国收藏家捐赠的，据说当时该收藏家不能很好地分别中国人和东南亚华人，就把它误叫做“来自中国”了，这个音乐盒上过很多当地报纸哦！还有一个“Atlantic”音乐盒，当年可是在泰坦尼克号上面装备的，后来船上决定换真人乐队演奏，所以这个盒子才得以保留。 想象一下你拿着一个古老的3便士硬币去让这些一百多年的老古董为你唱首歌啊，真的很浪漫哦。这家博物馆目前太小众，以至于导游小姐姐都很苦恼，所以我就自愿帮忙宣传啦~他们值得更多的人知道。不过我也有点担心人多了以后会不会改变了它小而美的特色呢...票价是成人票12新币，学生票6新币，绝对物有所值！

新加坡的博物馆特别多，展品都特别丰富！！！扭动发条，美妙的音乐就悠扬响起，每个好奇宝宝都无法拒绝音乐盒里藏着的奥秘。音乐盒博物馆就为孩子们提供了这样一个近距离欣赏音乐盒的场所。展馆内展示了18至20世纪间的古董音乐盒，不同于其他博物馆中高高在上的文物，这里的音乐盒虽然历经百年，仍然保有十足的生命力，每个都可以现场播放，复古华丽的样貌、精巧的机械装置，无一不引得游人驻足感叹。

Singapore Music Box Museum has many small music boxes, we can listen to music, tour guides explain the history of boxes, play them, tourists can choose their own songs, provided there are these songs. This is a Palanaka style house, a former girls'school.

Simply fantastic. Even though I used my Rediscover vouchers this time, I will definitely revisit this museum.It really changed my opinion on what music boxes are and can be.Mr Minami, the knowledgeable guide, provided us with detailed explanations on how the music boxes worked, as well as the charming history of them. It's really interesting to see music boxes of different sizes, some being really small, and some being as huge as a jukebox (or larger).It was a very engaging and surprisingly, interactive session. Super worth your time and money.The other part of the tour that surprised me was a collection of craftsmanship products from Singapore! I'm ashamed that as a local, I have little knowledge of it. It was great to learn more about the history of music boxes, and at the very end, we got to leave the tour on a delightful note! Hint: do not bend your entrance ticket!

The streets are clean and tidy, and you can't see it's a museum outside.
