Museum Visits


Tinkerbell Learning School recently went on a two-day educational visit to the Brunei Museum and the Maly Technology Museum in Jalan Kota Batu and the Royal Regalia Building in Bandar Seri Begawan.

It was a fun-learning affair participated in by some parents, teachers and 180 students, especially the upper primary as it was integrated to their curriculum.

At the Brunei Museum, students saw the Islamic arts collection covering all aspect of religious and daily life. The students were entertained by dioramas of local birds and the animals in their natural habitat at the Natural History Gallery.

At the Malay Technology, the students saw the local development in handicraft, architecture and house building, fishing and boat building in Kampong Ayer, and the life of Brunei’s Indigenous Ethnic people.

In the capital, they visited the circular gallery topped with mosaic dome housing, the Royal Regalia, a building incorporating the characteristics of Malay Islamic Monarchy Philosophy.

Education doesn’t only evolve in the four corners of the classroom, it could be also attained in visiting educational and cultural landmarks.
