Ah, the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. You might think it would be a dreary affair, a relic from an era when people thought Morse code was the pinnacle of human achievement. But, dear reader, you'd be astonishingly wrong.

From the moment you step through its doors, you're greeted by an architectural homage to triangles, Bell's signature shape. They're everywhere—ceilings, floors, exhibits. It's as if M.C. Escher and Alexander Graham Bell had a love child who decided to design a museum. And yet, it works. The place exudes a certain charm that only age and a bit of eccentricity can bestow.

The staff, every last one of them, could teach a masterclass in friendliness. They're the sort of people you’d expect to find in a seaside village, offering you tea and biscuits while discussing the weather. The instructional staff, particularly those involved in the kite-making workshops, were a delight. It's not often you find such enthusiasm for a piece of cloth on string, but these people made you believe kites were the greatest invention since the wheel.

Then there's the café. Usually, museum cafés are drab affairs serving overpriced, underwhelming sandwiches. But not here. The café staff are wonderful, and the food is surprisingly good. It's a place where you can sit, sip your coffee, and genuinely enjoy your surroundings.

And the grounds. Oh, the grounds. Impeccably maintained, they're a joy to stroll around. Lush, green, and full of life, they make you feel like you've stepped into a different world.

In conclusion, the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Bedok is a gem. It's charming, well-maintained, and staffed by the friendliest people you could hope to meet. Highly...

His wife Mabel Bell, also participated in his experiments and had a broad interests in many things as well. She gardened not for fun but for science as well.

Very educational museum. Goes into a lot of history of mainly Alexander Graham Bell, but there are others as well. Anyone somehow remotely related with the inventor and scientist, is here. The replica of the Silver Dart sits here in the museum.
