A Rewarding Look into the Last 100 Plus Years of Culture in Singapore (but you must find the tour guide)
Hell's Museum的点评
点评：Hell's Museum is a must-see for anyone wanting to go beyond the malls and reclaimed Marina Bay Sands/Sentosa areas of Singapore. The unique insights into the culture and history available now thanks to the surviving Tiger Balm estate absolutely are an education, but there is a catch. We were lucky to be there on a Tuesday around noon, bought museum tickets (used cash) and walked in in time for a free tour (1215pm) from one of the volunteers, Tan Wee Lin (rough spelling). While there is an intro video, and lots of signage, her tour was the difference between "would you look at that" and "this place (Hell's Museum/Haw Par Villa/Singapore) is amazing."
Be sure to go to Hell's Museum first, before the rest of the park area as the context and details of the construction, evolving purpose and subsequent history of Haw Par Villa and the Hell's museum area is key to getting something lasting out of the visit. The illustration and explanation of Singapore's current burial customs (and regulations) as necessarily adapted from what was conducted before the 1960's alone, is worth the visit.
And be aware, some generations of Singapore citizens were taken to Hell's Museum as children with regularity and with severe foreboding (and a claustrophobic passage that has since been removed), and frankly do not want to return there. Younger generations haven't been compelled to visit at all, and so, with land so precious (Hell's Museum was once converted to a canal ride-based theme park, and the greater park spent time as a concert venue), the ability to visit this unique cultural landmark (which draws on much of Southeast Asia for its influences) may disappear like an endangered species.
If you are interested in visiting the Hawker centres and areas like Chinatown, make the Hell's Museum and Haw Par Villa your next destinations. (But be sure to get a tour guide!)

翻译：地狱博物馆是任何想要游览新加坡购物中心和滨海湾金沙/圣淘沙地区以外的游客必看的景点。得益于虎豹庄园的幸存，现在可以获得对文化和历史的独特见解，这绝对是一种教育，但也有一个问题。我们很幸运能在周二中午到达那里，买了博物馆门票（用现金），并及时走进去参加志愿者 Tan Wee Lin（粗略拼写）的免费游览（下午 12:15）。虽然有一个介绍视频和许多标牌，但她的游览是“你会看那个吗”和“这个地方（地狱博物馆/虎豹别墅/新加坡）太棒了”之间的区别。
一定要先去地狱博物馆，然后再去公园的其他区域，因为虎豹别墅和地狱博物馆区域的建造背景和细节、不断发展的目的和随后的历史是获得持久参观体验的关键。仅就新加坡目前的丧葬习俗（和规定）的图解和解释而言，这些习俗和规定必然改编自 20 世纪 60 年代之前的做法，就值得一看。
请注意，有些新加坡公民小时候经常被带到地狱博物馆，而且带着强烈的预感（以及后来被删除的幽闭恐怖段落），坦率地说，他们不想再回到那里。年轻一代根本没有被强迫去参观，因此，由于土地如此珍贵（地狱博物馆曾被改造成运河游乐设施主题公园，大公园曾作为音乐会场地），参观这个独特的文化地标（其影响来自东南亚大部分地区）的机会可能会像濒危物种一样消失。
如果您有兴趣参观小贩中心和唐人街等地区，请将地狱博物馆和虎豹别墅作为您的下一个目的地。（但一定要找个导游！）
