After ten years, our Singapore History Gallery will be closing after its last day on 16 November 2024. Drop by one last time for a walk through history before the space closes for revamp and restoration works. Our SG60 special exhibition Once Upon a Tide and the Singapore Odyssea experience will remain open throughout this period. The Gallery will reopen in October 2026 with a brand new experience.
Visitors of all ages and abilities can take a break at our new intergenerational playground A Whale of a Tale, a Magical Bridge Design, now open outside our museum. Lastly, explore everyday household objects and national artefacts from the past few decades at our SG60 pop-up exhibition Museum of U & Me on our front lawn.
