Exploring National Museum of Singapore

The National Museum of Singapore traces its origins back to 1849 when it was established as a section of the Raffles Library and Museum. Over the years, it underwent relocations and expansions, finding its permanent home on Stamford Road in 1887. Its storied past includes a brief stint as the Singapore History Museum before reclaiming its original name in 2006. Today, it stands as the oldest museum in Singapore, a guardian of the nation’s collective memory. The museum’s architecture is a blend of tradition and modernity. Its grand dome and wide facade make it an unmistakable landmark along Stamford Road. The museum’s recent restoration and upgrading works have breathed new life into its halls. Notable galleries include: Story of the Forest, Singapore Very Old Tree, and Singapore History Gallery. #singaporetrip
