A series of talks by academics and researchers on topics relating to Singapore's history and culture.
Through our conferences, we seek to facilitate dialogue on pertinent issues and topics related to our key exhibitions.
The National Museum is expanding our public engagement efforts to crowd source objects and related stories/photos from residents in Singapore, to broaden our contemporary collection. These contributions may reveal different perspectives of contemporary Singapore that will shape and inform the curation of the museum’s future exhibitions. Selected objects may also be featured in relevant exhibitions presented by the National Museum.
Through our publications, we aim to present recent research into museological approaches and curatorial analyses, as well as to showcase our rich collections and reach out to diverse audiences.
The National Museum of Singapore invites researchers to contribute to academic scholarship on Singapore history and heritage. Applications from Masters and PhD candidates and PhD degree holders of all disciplines to conduct independent research on topics relating to the National Museum’s collections are welcome.
