I got a chance to visit Resorts World @ Sentosa’s Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium. For your information, the Aquarium will only open in 2012. The museum has 2 parts, the museum exhibit area and the Typhoon Theatre.
The museum consists of several exhibits such as artifacts found from ship wreck and some of the cultures and local information of several maritime routes. For example, one of the exhibit was on the Maritime Silkroad Route. Instead of using camels to transport goods, they decided to use ships which is more efficient and productive.
There were several interesting exhibits too, including the Jewel of Muscat, which was a gift by the Omani Government to Singapore.
There were several interactive exhibits too. One example was where visitors could learn how to navigate a ship through a computer stimulation. Other than the exhibits, I personally thought that the Typhoon Theatre was impressive. The Typhoon Theatre was a 360 degrees multi sensory display where we got to experience the rough seas that the ship had to go through. At $6, I thought it was really worth the money as both wifey and myself enjoyed ourselves through the simple storyline but amazing effects.
