It was once located in a school (Raffles Institution, no less!), and some of the more unusual gifts it received included an elephant and a tiger. Luckily, they were dead. Otherwise, there would have been chaos at the museum.Join Danger Dan and Gadget Girl on an adventure through the National Museum and watch history come to life right before your eyes!
