This indoor-outdoor museum is located right on the water, and it’s a great way to explore Singapore’s maritime history through fun, interactive exhibits. Before you even enter the building, you’ll be able to see several ships anchored here.
Inside, the highlight of the museum is the Jewel of Muscat, a replica of a sailing vessel that sank in 830 CE while traveling between Africa and China. You can also see large-size models of trading ships that traveled the Silk Route, learn navigation skills and how to read nautical charts, and experience a 9th-century shipwreck at Typhoon Theater in a special-effects simulation.
