Visit the nation’s oldest museum, the National Museum of Singapore, that seeks to inspire the world with its intriguing stories and historic facts about Singapore. Its history dates back to 1849, when it first started as a section of a library at the Singapore Institution. After several relocations, redevelopment projects, and changes in name, it finally moved to its permanent site at Stamford Road in 1887, with the name recognised by most today: the National Museum of Singapore.
Not only is this Singapore’s oldest museum, but it is also a progressive showcase of Singaporean history, culture, and art. As you stand amidst a darkened space, you’ll be surrounded by stirring symphonies and a video montage displaying everyday life in Singapore. And that’s just the beginning. Walk through the museum to discover centuries worth of history: explore the permanent and temporary exhibitions to learn all about this fascinating country in a compelling narrative. You’ll be taken by the neo-classical building, with its modernist extension of glass and metal. Further, a dynamic range of events are hosted here: from festivals to film screenings, you’ll see it all!
