A Sobering Journey Through History: The Second World War Museum in Gdańsk
#europetrip #poland #gdansk #Musuem
Visiting the Second World War Museum in Gdańsk was an emotional and unforgettable experience. Poland, a country deeply scarred by history, comes alive through the powerful exhibits and stories displayed here. The museum’s architecture itself is striking, with its slanted red exterior symbolizing the destruction and resilience of war. Inside, the immersive exhibitions take you back to one of humanity’s darkest chapters, with artifacts, personal accounts, and multimedia presentations that vividly illustrate the war’s global and individual impact. Walking through, we couldn’t help but feel heartache for Poland's tragic past—invaded, occupied, and devastated during the war. The museum doesn’t shy away from the horrors of history, but it also highlights the enduring spirit of survival and hope. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Gdańsk, offering a profound and sobering perspective on the cost of war and the importance of peace.

The University of Tartu Museum has been serving the university and society for over two hundred years. During this time, museums in the university have appeared and disappeared, merged and separated, but the main goals have remained unchanged: preserve the academic heritage of the university, educate and enlighten the young and old alike, and tell the history of the University of Tartu as well as the history of world science and art in a thrilling way.

Fescinating Destination
While this is no doubt one of the best museums about natural history. I was so stunned by its design. It's eye catching. The museum's location is special too. Right opposite the confluence, meeting point of the Rhone and Saone rivers. From the glass structure within you get lovely views.
The collection and exhibits are impressive, covering diverse themes such as life and death, scientific exploration, cultural exchange, and even love. The museum features a vast collection, including paleontology, zoology, and ethnography artifacts.
Temporary exhibitions add to the museum's appeal. The architecture and design was what attracted me the most. Simply put it is spectacular, a unique blend of lines and curves. This is definitely worth a visit.

Thereafter, head to the Pinang Peranankan Mansion located at 29, Church St, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Penang, Malaysia just a short walk from Chew Jetty.

The Jewish memorial, Berlin Wall & BODE
Germany has several cities where I find the most interesting place to visit is in Berlin. Back in secondary school days, my teacher used to talk about the Berlin Wall and what it does but I've never imagine how it will excatly look like first hand until I went to the original Berlin Wall itself. This is the very Wall that actually separated separated divided Berlin from East Germany in 1961 to 1989.
There is also the Jewish memorial that you can visit, where this was once the mass murder of Jews. This is like a memorial for them and the area here is rather peaceful and quiet.
Lastly the BODE Mueusm where you will find collection of paintings from the sculpture collection and also the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Munzkabinett. There is an entrance fee charge of 10 pounds per person to visit this musuem.

There are alot of European branded cars made in Germany like the main fews are BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz.

From the very 1st man made gas powered car in the 1800s and also the very 1st Mercedes sports car called the SL60 AMG to even the very first Mercedes benz car where doors open upwards.
This musuem covers more than 15,000 square metres with at least more than 100 over vehicles on showcase where you are able to learn the history and works behind the vehicles.

Growing with technology In Singapore
National Museum Of Singapore has several exhibition on showcase. One pop up showcase which is also very popular with parents and kids is the showcase of technology changes in our lives.
Many of us who are born in 1970s-1990s finds this showcase a very memorable one. It shows where how life was simple when it comes to the barber, or using the uncoloured computer, phone and tvs. The very simple yet popular commercial on TV screens with its familiar soundtracks. Also the showcase also exhibits what Singapore used to have but its now not seen anymore. Like the spinning dail up payphone, or the kind of cosy coffeehouse, the kind of houses where our grandparents used to stay in, or even the kind of cameras we use to have and how it was traditional developed.
This exhibits allows our kids born in the recent generation to understand how simple life was before technology came in. A very much historic cultural learning experience.
