Singapore Musical Box Museum

Singapore Musical Box Museum (1 August 2017)


Singapore Musical Box Museum (GPS: 1.28083, 103.84746) is a speciality museum in downtown Singapore. The museum, which is located on Telok Ayer Street next to Thian Hock Keng Temple, is housed in a 2-storey wooden building. It houses a collection of some forty European as well as Asian versions of music boxes from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The building housing the Singapore Musical Box Museum itself is of historic significance. It was the Chong-Wen Ge, or Institute for the Veneration of Literature, the first educational institution to be set up by the Chinese community in Singapore, dating to 1849. That institution occupies an octagonal pagoda which is still standing today. Then, in 1915, the Chong Hock Girls' School was founded, and occupies the temple pavilion until the 1970s.

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.
