Galeri Seni Johor & Sentosa Island

Johor Bahru’s Art Gallery alias the Galeri Seni Johor, holds many works of art and other items related to the history of the province. The museum was founded in 1910 and is housed in an elegant Colonial-style building.
Sentosa Island is Singapore’s resort island. Its great natural beauty is complemented by a cornucopia of exciting entertainments. The most interesting way to reach the island is perhaps via the cable car, traveling high above the harbor front. But it is also possible to simply walk there across the Causeway Bridge. The island has several tropical beaches and lagoons, and even a couple of golf courses. Dolphins, birds and insects are some of the fauna that can be seen on the island. Those who prefer a birds-eye view can try Skytower’s revolving panorama cabin, which travels to a height of 131 metres. Centrally located on Sentosa Island is the city’s icon, the 27-metre-tall Merlion Monument. A Merlion is a creature that is half lion and half fish. By Merlion Monument one can also find Merlion Walk, a 120- meter-long, Gaudi-inspired mosaic walkway.
