Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time opens on 8 August at the newly renamed Shaw Foundation Glass Rotunda, previously home to our beloved Story of the Forest installation. Let the winding path take you back through the centuries and into a world of myths and legends in this immersive multi-sensorial digital experience.
Our SG60 special exhibition Once Upon a Tide: Singapore's Journey from Settlement to Global City continues to invite you to discover the intimate connections between our country and the waters that shaped our home. Discover centuries-old maps and navigation instruments, trace the seafaring journeys of early migrants, witness the island's evolving coastline, and be inspired by the stories of the Singaporeans making waves in the world today.
