Want to learn about Singapore's history and culture, but only have time to visit one place? The National Museum of Singapore might be the place for you. The National Museum of Singapore tells the story of Singapore's history and culture in a lively, interesting and inspiring way.
Imagine yourself standing in a dim and wide space, surrounded by a huge video wall, with various aspects of Singapore's daily life flashing before your eyes against the background of an inspiring symphonic background music. This is just the beginning of the overall immersive experience of the museum.
Visitors enjoy exhibitions in the National Museum of Singapore gallery
The National Museum of Singapore dates back to 1887 and is the oldest museum in Singapore and a major architectural landmark of the city. The permanent exhibitions in the museum, the History Gallery (Singapore Gallery) and the "Life in Singapore: Past 100 Years" Life Gallery (Life in Singapore: Past 100 Years)
piece together Singapore's past and present through a fascinating narrative.
The museum perfectly blends old and new elements, and the neo-modernist glass and metal elements make the neoclassical building more elegant, and the architectural style is stunning.
In addition to exhibiting important historical and cultural collections, the museum hosts a variety of vibrant activities throughout the year, including art installations, festivals, performances and film screenings. One of the latest immersive art installations in the museum is Story of the Forest, created by Japanese art group teamLab, which allows visitors to experience the precious collections in the museum through a magnificent digital presentation.
The museum has a cafe, restaurant, and boutique selling souvenirs, which makes the magnificent historical and cultural Journey experience a perfect ending.
