National Museum of Singapore

The once-little history museum, the former Singapore History Museum, closed its dusty halls in 2003 and has now reopened after a massive renovation. Now, this beautiful 120-year-old building has not only been restored, but has been expanded to more than twice its original size and features state-of-the-art multimedia exhibits designed to bring history to life and to make it accessible to all visitors. The History Gallery tells the story of Singapore from two points of view: from a historian’s perspective and from the “man on the street.” You decide which story you’d like to hear, then choose the corresponding audio headset that will guide you through the exhibit. The four Living Galleries show objects and elements of everyday Singaporean life: Food, Fashion, Film, and Photography.
