Located near the Tanjong Pagar MRT, on the perimeters of Chinatown is the red dot design museum. A bold red facade welcomes you inside this modern museum of marvels, as well as several eateries including a coffee shop, bar and restaurant. The museum itself displays winners of the coveted red dot design award, which is based in Europe. It has award-winning designs for all sorts of everyday objects, from advertising to toilets, and from medical equipment to pens. The labels explain the significance of these items and what makes them award-winning. The objects are works of art and, even if they didn't have practical value, they'd still be easy on the eyes.
Word to the wise: Visit their website at http://www.red-dot.sg/museum/ to read about their monthly free event called MAAD, where local artists and designers get to show off their latest creations.
