Curator’s statement

Sentosa is an island just off the southern coast of Singapore.

Singaporeans joke that "Sentosa" stood for "So Expensive and Nothing T See Actually". Well, it's still expensive (with some free activities), but there are so many attractions. You could easily spend three days in Sentosa, if you are interested in its attractions.
