Through four thematic sections aligned to the themes of transport, accommodation, food and beverage, sights and shopping, this exhibition showcases a specially curated selection of ubiquitous materials and artefacts evoking powerful memories of travel to and from Singapore. This includes the iconic analogue flipboard previously located at Changi Airport (on display till 19 November 2023), and a set of Singapore Airlines' history-making A380 Suites Cabin seats.
As part of Now Boarding, there will also be a series of themed pop-up experiences that will happen throughout the year, including NMS’ very own disco room, and other complementary programming for everyone. Check in to this exhibition to discover our little red dot anew, and contemplate our identities as Singaporeans in an increasingly globalised world.
