  • Hatsune Miku

    ★★★★9 months ago

    A small heritage gallery located in kreta ayer community centre. Not really much to look at except for some calligraphy brushes, opera costume and chinese instruments. Considering your ancestral heritage, most of the information located in this gallery might not make much sense to you at all. Can come here to take a look see, but don't expect to learn much from this experience.

  • CK C

    ★★★★4 years ago

    A small but meaningful gallery. There are some interactive exhibits such as the puppet show and the digital Chinese musical instruments. Attendance is free.
