As my interest is mainly in movie equipment, I was
pleased to see a large display cabinet full of cine
cameras. These ranged from early 9.5 mm to some quite
late model 16 mm cameras, with a fair range of 8 mm in
between. Of special interest was a KBAPU cine camera,
which I had never heard of. My host was somewhat
stumped as well, as he could not recall where he got it
from or any detail about it. I suggested it might be of
Russian manufacture.

The adjacent “Trick Art Museum”, although only small,
was well worth the visit. The three dimensional
properties of the paintings was quite amazing.
Unfortunately my pictures don’t do justice to them, as
the light and shade properties of them do make them
appear quite life like.

Overall, well worth a visit if you are in Singapore.
Location: Corner of Victoria Street and Jalan Kledek,
Singapore, about 200 metres from the Bugis MRT
Station.
