This 2, 800 square metre space will tell the story of Singapore from its beginnings in the 14th century to the modern period. Unlike conventional history museums, the Singapore History galleries will adopt a story-telling approach, where visitors will walk through stories, not exhibitions. It will offer different perspectives on our history in order to encourage active appreciation of the struggles that our forefathers had to overcome in order to create the Singapore we see today. Visitors will enjoy experiencing our history through the drama of major national events as well as the intimate personal stories of individuals. You will also be able to select your own “path” into the history of Singapore and hear interesting insights with the aid of our first-ever audio companion.
