Why it matters
The National Museum of Singapore reopens its flagship Singapore History Gallery today, presenting a fresh, people-centred narrative on the formation and evolution of a Singaporean identity. The reopening marks the completion of the museum's three-year restoration and opens its 139th anniversary celebrations.
What to see
The revamped gallery takes visitors through more than 700 years of history, with thoughtfully presented artefacts and narratives elevated by immersive, interactive multimedia spaces.
