Explore Singapore's history at Once Upon a Tide and Singapore Odyssea. Our Singapore History Gallery will reopen in October 2026.

Family Fun at the National Museum!

These March holidays, gain fresh perspectives on the diverse communities that helped to lay the foundations for Singapore’s development and those who continue to contribute to the country, as featured in the National Museum’s SG60 special exhibition, Once Upon a Tide: Singapore’s Journey from Settlement to Global City.

Try out childhood games and snacks from countries where some of Singapore’s migrant workers hail from, enjoy a community showcase of their diverse talents and interests outside of work, and spend some quality time bonding as a family through our line-up of activities!

Some programmes have ended. Thank you for your participation!
