During one of the free-time windows on a recent business trip to Singapore, I went to the National Museum. I was awestruck. One of the major wings, the Singaporean History wing, is this multilevel, vast exhibit area. You're handed an audio device with ear phones and a handheld control with a numbered keypad on it... The floor of the History wing is numbered, and so when you get to a particular section, you just punch in the number on the device to hear the narration about whatever is in that section. Wala lang...was truly appreciative of how they thought of a simple way for visitors to enjoy the thing at their own pace, instead of the usual "herded like cattle by museum guide" procedure.
Gawd imagine if we could do something similar for our national museum? Imagine, compared to Singapore's history, there's so much more you can do with ours! Imagine, nakagawa sila ng isang wing about their Brit colonizers...ISANG colonizer big deal na...pffffft...try THREE! Ours is a saga, with all the makings of a Carlo J. Caparas blockbuster! Blood, sex, violence, heroes, villains...more blood, more sex... Say mo, la!
