Singapore General Hospital Museum, Singapore

Singapore General Hospital Museum, or SGH Museum, is a medical museum occupying the historic Bowyer Block building within the campus of the Singapore General Hospital. Officially opened by Singapore President S.R. Nathan on 20 May, 2005, the museum preserves the history, old documents, medical appliances and photographs related to the Singapore General Hospital. Using the latest audio-visual technology, it provides an insight into the development of medical education in Singapore.

The Bowyer Block is a historic building erected in 1926. Located at 11, Third Hospital Avenue, it was designed by the architectural firm of Keys & Dowdeswell in the neoclassical style. It was later named in honor of Dr John Herbert Bowyer, a British doctor who was tortured to death by the Japanese during World War II. The building was designated a national monument on 11 November, 2009.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
