Singapore the Very Old Trees

This photographic exhibition traces iconic trees in Singapore, inspired by an old postcard dating back to 1904. Local photographer and artist Robert Zhao captured 30 images of these ancient trees, which are now part of the museum’s collection. His lens captures the intricate connections between truth, beliefs, and our perception of the natural world. This exhibit provides an overview of Singapore’s history—from a small fishing village to the bustling metropolis it is today. Through this exhibition, you can gain an alternative view of Singapore’s history. It’s not just about dates and events; it’s about our personal connections to these ancient trees. Each tree has a story—a silent witness to generations, weathering storms, and standing steadfast against time. #singaporetrip
