A Little Museum Which You Might Not Have Noticed - National Design Centre in Singapore



The National Design Centre in Singapore is near the National Library. I photographed the Design Centre on my way to a meeting in The Bras Basah complex which is a run down dimly lit building full of nooky shops, bookshops and art supply shops.

A friend of mine in Singapore recommended the Design Centre on Facebook. I see that it has a cafe which seems to sell Japanese food, and a shop.

I read an article about a man who decided he was not sassed with souvenirs of key rings showing the mystical merlon (represented by a large statue and fountain spouting into the river). He started a company which makes plates showing landmarks and Singapore features, later helped by a government grant.
