The Singapore National Museum, a condensed memory of history

The Singapore National Museum, founded in 1887, is the oldest museum in Singapore with high cultural and artistic value. There are 7 permanent exhibition halls here, where you can learn about Singapore's history since the 13th century. The museum houses over 1700 historical art collections, presenting the life of Singapore in different historical periods. The Singapore National Museum has a rich historical background. The museum's gallery uses the latest cutting-edge display technology, redefining the traditional museum experience. From the Lion City 700 years ago, the British colony in the 19th century, the Syonan Island during the World War II to the prosperous and stable Singapore today, the development and changes have left some traces in their own unique way as time goes by, allowing people to have a glimpse. The most experiential is the Animal and Plant Image Museum, a super long image gallery. The key is that you can smell the fragrance of flowers and hear the sound of raindrops all the way, as if you are in the animal world, the immersive feeling is great. At the end is a super large 360° cinema, where you can lie down and look up at the starry sky, birds and flowers, very comfortable. Every time you reach a corner, these trees will grow, super cool. The first floor is the Singapore History Exhibition Hall, and the second floor is the must-see themed exhibition hall. There are five smaller themed exhibition halls, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the colonial period, war period, development period and return period of the 70s in Singapore. Once, the collections of the Singapore National Museum were mainly focused on natural history. From the 1960s, the museum shifted its collection focus from natural science to national construction. By the late 1970s, the National Museum had become a place focused on Singapore's history.
