		Just as Kanchanaburi was changed to follow Pierre Boulle's story, Collins' proposals for Changi reflected the same line of thinking: that the site should cater to public perceptions in order to make it a more attractive tourist destination.

		The Museum part of the Centre guides visitors from a gallery devoted to the historical background and the reasons behind the construction of the Railway to one devoted to the engineering aspects, the way in which it was built and the difficulties that had to be overcome.
		This is a wonderful facility which, in addition to the Museum at Hell Fire Pass, 80km north, enhances visitors understanding of conditions on the line and the terrible treatment of the Prisoners of War.
