Designing for Inclusivity and the NMS Quiet Room
Fri, 22 May | 3pm

The Quiet Room is a key initiative by the National Museum to support children with additional needs in visiting the museum. In this talk, Lekker Architects will share their inspirations and approaches in designing the Quiet Room and other spaces for persons with additional needs. Come learn about the features of the Quiet Room through photographs and concept drawings, and gain insights into the challenges and considerations of inclusive design.

Youth Special

Explore the museum and its special exhibitions through a weekend of programmes, presented by the NMS Youth Panel for youth (and the young at heart). Try a self-facilitated Telegram delivery hunt, hear from inspiring local creators at our bazaar, or share your stories and watch them play out on stage through playback theatre.

These programmes are presented in conjunction with the special exhibitions Home, Truly: Growing Up With Singapore, 1950s to the Present and Picturing the Pandemic: A Visual Record of COVID-19 in Singapore which close on 3 and 17 October 2021 respectively.

About the Youth Panel
An initiative by the National Museum of Singapore, the NMS Youth Panel is a group of like-minded youth interested in history, heritage, and sharing their love for the museum with the wider youth community.

Between You and Me
25 Sep | 2pm – 4pm | The Salon, Level 1
$25 per ticket (special price of $20 per pax for youth aged 18-25)

Unlike a conventional theatre show, playback theatre is improvisational and draws on the audience’s experiences, moments, and feelings. Stories shared are transformed spontaneously into the stage performance, using elements of movement, dialogue, cloth, and music.

This special performance is presented by Tapestry Playback Theatre and inspired by the themes of the museum’s special exhibitions. Join us in a community dialogue about intercultural relationships during the pandemic. We invite you to share your stories, listen deeply to what others bring, and watch as the actors honour your stories!

Limited capacity; registration is required. Visit nmsplayback1.peatix.com to purchase a ticket.
