If you come to Singapore without visiting the National Museum, you don't know Singapore!


Since its establishment in 1849, the National Museum of Singapore has been the oldest museum in Singapore. It not only holds 700 years of Singapore's history, but also a landmark of local culture and architecture

It tells the story of history and culture in a bold and innovative way, and aims to provide a different experience than traditional museums

🎈 regularly hosts special exhibitions with different themes, as well as various activities and performances such as the Singapore Midsummer Night Festival and outdoor film screenings, so that every visit is new ~

🏷️ 10 museum treasures, from a 14th-century stone to an 1819 sketch of Singapore, each tell the story of Singapore 📖

🏢 Neoclassical architecture, 18400 square meters of construction area, each is a good place to take photos

The ticket is only 15 SGD, just 2h after visiting, and there are many well-known punch cards next to it, such as Praise Square, Fu Kang Ning Park... It really won't take long to stop by

What's going on here is pretty special, so let me just say a few things:
The city was originally built by British Indian criminals, and after the Japanese defeated the British Army and occupied it, it was renamed Chao Nan Island, which is now on the side of Changi Airport, and was once the famous Changi Prison, where prisoners of war were sent to build the "Death Railway" between Thailand and Burma during the Japanese occupation. Since 1901, the wives of many European civil servants and businessmen have come here to work as housewives. ~
