Where sleek modern skyscrapers meet rich relics of a remarkable past, nestled amidst newly
developed highways and city streets, among verdant parks and iconic structures, the diversity of
Singapore is overwhelming. With a host of diverse places to see in Singapore, it is the ideal
getaway for a fun-filled expedition, making it the most popular destination for international
travellers.
A haven of historical artefacts, the National Museum of Singapore is one of Singapore’s four
main galleries and is notably the oldest museum in the country. Through the years it has made many
cities its home, but finally relocated to its permanent site at Stamford Road, the Museum Planning
Area in 1887.
In 2006, the Museum reopened its gallery hallways following three years of renovation, with
its new wing, the Singapore History Gallery. The National Museum is renowned for its iconic
architecture, with a seamless fusion of contemporary and traditional architectural designs against
the original structure by Colonel Sir H E Mc Callum. The flawless combination of metal and glass,
adds the signature detail synonymous to the towering skyscrapers the city is famous for. The
renovation has made the museum the largest in Singapore, spread across 18,400 square meters.
Redefining the experience of cultural art and historical masterpieces, the Museum also hosts
a number of vibrant events and festivals throughout the year, including exhibitions and film
screenings.
