Singapore Musical Box Museum


The musical box museum, situated next to Thian Hock Keng Temple at Telok Ayer Street, is certainly a lovely place to spend an evening.
  


Enjoyed a glass of Teh Peng at Chong Wen Ge Peranakan Café 崇文阁 while waiting for the next guided tour at 4:30pm.


The century old exquisitely handcrafted musical boxes, some of them still functionable, are simply awesome.  Do listen to the few videos then you will know how delightful the sounds.
This grandfather-style tower was initially built for Titanic,
but eventually used on another ship.
Call it lucky - Else we won't be able to see it.
