原有的新加坡国家博物馆是一个破败的国家纪念建筑,直到2006年,经过世界级的保护修复与加建新翼后才得以重生。原有建筑是由石头和木材组成,与之相反,新建筑则以钢和玻璃为材料。新建筑增加了一倍以上的使用面积,更为重要的是,新建筑将老建筑与附近历史悠久的福康宁公园联系起来。今天,新加坡国家博物馆成为新加坡规模最大、参观人数最多的博物馆。 The original National Museum of Singapore is a dilapidated national monument until it was reborn in 2006 after world-class protection, restoration and construction of new wings. The original building was made of stone and wood, while the new building was made of steel and glass. The new building more than doubled the area used, and more importantly, the new building linked the old building to the nearby historic Fort Canning Park. Today, the National Museum of Singapore becomes Singapore’s largest and most visited museum.
