Postcard #: PCOS48 Van Kleef Aquarium in the early 1980s,
printed in Tokyo, Japan in 1980s.
Interesting Note:
Van Kleef Aquarium was an oceanarium located in Fort Canning Park facing River Valley Road in Singapore. The aquarium was opened in September 1955 and closed its doors in 1996 due to falling number of visitors ever since Underwater World in Sentosa opened in 1991. It was finally demolished in 1998.
Van Kleef Aquarium was named after a former Dutch resident, Mr Karl Van Kleef, who bequeathed his fortune to Singapore.

Reminiscing the Past: I remembered Van Kleef Aquarium with very dark interiors, like being in a subterranean tunnel and i was admiring the marine fishes in awe as a little girl.
