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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
