75 years after the fall of Singapore, rediscover this watershed event through a special international exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore. Hear first-hand accounts from witnesses to war: ordinary men and women whose lives were upheaved by the outbreak of hostilities in Singapore in 1942. The exhibition presents the complexities of the events that led to the fall of Singapore, paying homage to the extraordinary tenacity with which these men and women bore their circumstances.

Featuring artefacts from 10 overseas museums and institutions, Witness to War will also explore how Singapore’s fall was part of a wider campaign waged by the Japanese Empire across the Pacific.

The exhibition will also feature two special artworks by Australian artist Angela Tiatia and Singaporean artist Debbie Ding. They were developed as part of the first Australia-Singapore Joint Artist Residency exchange programme, which saw the artists participate in one-month residences at the Australian War Memorial and the National Museum of Singapore.

SLICE OF THE CHANGI TREE

Hopea sangal, locally known as ‘chengal pasir’, is a rare species of dipterocarp reputed to be the tree that gave Changi its name. Thought to be locally extinct, the lone specimen was discovered in 2002, but illegally felled that same year.

NEPTUNE’S CUP SPONGE

First described from Singapore in 1820, Neptune’s Cup Sponge (Cliona patera) were highly sought after for their scientific and commercial value. This resulted in over-harvesting and they were thought to have gone extinct globally for over a century until it was rediscovered in 2011 from the waters off Singapore’s southern shores.

HERITAGE GALLERY

Delve into the nostalgic past of the museum’s history in the Heritage Gallery. Our natural history collection goes way back into the late 1800s and early 1900s, where it was once part of the former Raffles Library and Museum (now National Museum of Singapore). Learn more about the history of the collection and marvel at some of the specimens that were displayed at the old Raffles Museum.

LEATHERBACK TURTLE

The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) specimen in the Heritage Gallery is one of the museum’s greatest treasures. More than a century have passed since this specimen was found dead on the beach near Siglap in 1883 by Malay villagers, but it still remains the only known record of a leatherback turtle in Singapore.

SUNDA PANGOLIN

The Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) is a mammal with ‘scales’ covering its body that is made of keratin, the same protein that is in our skin and hair! Globally endangered, they are hunted for their meat and scales, the latter of which is (baselessly) thought to have medicinal properties.

The award-winning series may be over, but fans of the hit British period drama Downton Abbey will have a chance to relive the moment and get a peek at the lives of the lavish Crawleys and their not-so-lavish servants at a new exhibition at Marina Bay Sands.

The interactive Downton Abbey: The Exhibition at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, will feature some of the iconic sets and a host of costumes and props from the show created by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes. It starred the likes of Maggie Smith as Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, Jim Carter, who played the butler Carson, and Michelle Dockery, who became known for her role as Lady Mary Crawley.

The touring exhibition is making its world premiere in Singapore, and some of the cast members as well as creator Fellowes will be gracing a red carpet event at its official opening. The show’s executive producer, Liz Trubridge, revealed that one of her most prized possessions was the award for Best Foreign TV Series from this year’s Shanghai International Film and TV Festival.

In fact, Downton Abbey has been cited as one of the reasons for the current trend among China’s elite to hire butlers. First aired in 2010, the show ran for six seasons until last year. During its run, it collected accolades from the Golden Globes and the Emmys. It has been sold to 250 countries and is considered the most internationally successful British drama in recent decades.

Downton Abbey revolves around the lives of an aristocratic family and its servants living in a fictional country estate in Yorkshire during the early 20th century. The personal stories are framed by the many historical and social events that took place during that time, including the sinking of the Titanic and World War I.

The exhibition will feature detailed, recreated sets from the series, including the servants’ hall, the workplace kitchen, and the Crawleys’ dining room. Among the interactive elements is a section where visitors can “apply” for a job as one of the servants at the estate, while the exhibition gift shop includes not only merchandise but also a cafe where one can have some afternoon high tea.

Also on display are props that depict the changes that took place at that time, including the introduction of electricity and telephones. And then there are the elaborate costumes from the 1920s, which have been one of Downton Abbey’s biggest draws.

Presented by The Singapore Hokkien Foundation, the three-month exhibition, Fujians: The Blue Ocean Legacy, is one of the main highlights of the World Fujian Convention (WFC) and the 4th Singapore Hokkien Festival. The exhibition will showcase rare artefacts from overseas museums and from local collectors in a modern and contemporary manner. It is also the first time that Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan is partnering with ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands and overseas museums. 

Being the first clan association in Singapore to organize an exhibition with ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan (SHHK) President Chua Thian Poh and Marina Bay Sands president and chief executive officer George Tanasijevich shared highlights of the unique partnership at a press briefing today. Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan President Chua Thian Poh said, “The partnership is unique and created many firsts. Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan is an organisation with a long heritage and history. The partnership with ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, known as a Museum of Creativity, tells the history of the Fujians in a modern and creative way.

ArtScience Museum epitomizes modernity and creativity while Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan stands for strong roots and foundation.” The Exhibition and the partnership epitomize Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan’s value of embracing change and challenges in order to stay relevant with the times. Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan hopes this will put Singapore in the international heritage arena. It also marks an important milestone for clan associations.  Marina Bay Sands President and Chief Executive Officer George Tanasijevich is looking forward to welcoming delegates to the convention. He said, “Marina Bay Sands is proud to partner with Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan in helping host the 7th World Fujian Convention and share such a historically significant event with Singapore. We’re particularly pleased to welcome Fujians: The Blue Ocean Legacy and its showcase of rare and
consequential artefacts to ArtScience Museum. This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to share the important Fujian story as well as engage people of all ages at the same time. We’re honoured to showcase Fujians: The Blue Ocean Legacy to the visitors of ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.” 
  
The exhibition will showcase 600 pieces of exhibits, including rare artefacts classified as “First Class Cultural Relics” from Quanzhou city (Fujian province, China). Amongst the highlights are Yuan Dynasty stone carvings of two Chinese fairies holding a Christian cross; and a Ming Dynasty porcelain dish with peony and phoenix designs. These exhibits with intertwining cultural elements reflect an interesting cultural diversity stemming from seafaring activities in Fujian centuries ago. Also on display are stone sculptures and carvings with interesting religious imprints; and exquisitely-crafted models of ships with which Fujian ancestors set sail to Singapore. 
 
One of the featured local artefacts is an 1828 land title deed with a signature of Hokkien merchant and philanthropist Tan Tock Seng. The piece of land bought from British East India Company was used to build the Thian Hock Keng Temple. The well-preserved document is believed to be the oldest land title deed to be ever found in Singapore. (SOurce from: https://www.marinabaysands.com

Forget the myth that evolution was discovered in the Galapagos Islands. It was actually discovered here in South East Asia! The great naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) explored the Malay Archipelago (now Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia), between 1854-1862. Through his specimen collecting and field study of the rich biodiversity here, Wallace managed to identify and solve some of the most striking puzzles of bio-geography, as well as to conceive of the theory of evolution by natural selection independently of Charles Darwin.

Created in collaboration with the National University of Singapore's Faculty of Science and Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, The Island Adventurer exhibition will focus on Wallace's adventure in expeditions and field studies. To know that one could literally 'follow in the footsteps' of Wallace practically in our own backyard in Bukit Timah, can be form of great inspiration to our youths! Who knows maybe the next ground breaking theory in Science can be result of this....

PERMANENT EXHIBITION

INDIANS IN SINGAPORE: PAST & PRESENT

The IHC’s permanent galleries (located at levels 4 and 3) feature five themes which are arranged chronologically to span 1st century CE to the 21st century. The galleries present, through artefact and interactive displays, the history of interactions between South and Southeast Asia, depict the experiences of the Indian community in both Singapore and Malaya during the colonial period, and highlight the contributions of the Indian and South Asian communities to Singapore’s nation-building efforts.

EARLY CONTACT: INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ASIA

1st century CE to 19th century

The first gallery explores the early contact between South and Southeast Asia and showcases the evidence of such interactions through the tangible and intangible heritage of the two regions. More specifically, it examines the religious connections (Hindu-Buddhist, Islamic and Christian) and the trade interactions between South and Southeast Asia vis-à-vis Singapore as a bustling hub of 19th century maritime trade.

ROOTS AND ROUTES: ORIGINS AND MIGRATION

19th to 21st centuries

Indians in Singapore and Southeast Asia trace their origins to numerous waves of migration – pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial. A complex history of migration from the South Asian subcontinent has produced a vibrant and dynamic community, made distinct by their ability to adapt and to integrate with local cultures. The “Roots” section of this gallery highlights their rites of passage, attire, language, religious affiliations and festivals while the “Routes” section revisits the gruelling journeys undertaken by migrants from their villages, cities and port towns, by ship to Singapore.

PIONEERS: EARLY INDIANS IN SINGAPORE AND MALAYA

19th to mid-20th century

The third gallery introduces the early Indian pioneers who arrived in Singapore and Malaya as well as their trades and businesses. It highlights the role of Indians such as prisoners and builders, moneylenders and private financiers, police and civil servants, traders and professionals etc. In addition, the gallery showcases the history and contributions of pioneering institutions including early Tamil schools, media establishments, religious monuments and social organisations.

SOCIAL AND POLITICAL AWAKENING OF INDIANS IN SINGAPORE AND MALAYA

Mid-20th century

The fourth gallery examines the impact of anti-colonial and nationalist movements in India on the Indian community in Singapore and Malaya. It also explores the impact of World War II on the local Indian community as well as the growth of social reform movements in both Singapore and Malaya.

MAKING OF THE NATION: CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIANS IN SINGAPORE

Late 1950s – Present

The final gallery showcases the contributions of the Indian community in Singapore to the country’s nation-building efforts across diverse fields and occupations. It situates the Indian community within multi-cultural Singapore and highlights how the community continues to play an important role in shaping Singapore’s future.

It is recognised that formal educational institutions will fulfil the primary objective of producing science literate people, there is a need for the population at large to appreciate aspects of science in a leisurely and entertaining manner. Of relatively recent origins, science centres are endowed with the resources to accomplish this task admirably. They popularise science by creating an environment where the audience can indulge in participatory learning.

The variety of exhibits spanning various disciplines are basically incubators of scientific knowledge and emphasises hands-on exploratory learning rather than a formal text-based approach. Through innovative science exhibits stressing on aspects of everyday life and other developments relevant to a nation, science centres are ideally poised to play an important role in nation-building efforts. 

The Science Centre Singapore achieves its objectives in the following ways:

- Setting up exhibitions that illustrate the principles of science and technology and to show their relevance to everyday life 

- Conducting school programmes to complement the school science syllabi

- Producing scientific magazines and natural history guide books to increase the knowledge and understanding of students and the general public 

- Organising promotional activities to bring science closer to the people of Singapore

The Science Centre’s exhibition galleries feature more than 1000 individual exhibits, most of which are interactive and hands-on. To see all of these in one visit is virtually impossible, so we recommend you select a couple of exhibitions and take your time to explore them. You can always come back another day to see the rest!

The Singapore History Gallery’s updated narrative charts the development of the island as it was known through the years as Singapura, a Crown Colony, Syonan-To, and finally, Singapore.

Singapura (1299 – 1818)

Geologists have found that the oldest rock formations on Singapore date back to the Paleozoic Era. From prehistoric tools found in Western Singapore and Pulau Ubin, an island off Singapore, a settlement may have existed as early as several thousand years ago.

The earliest written records to have mentioned Singapore describe it as a thriving port in the 14th century. It was known by different names then: the Chinese traders called it Danmaxi (Temasik or Temasek), while in the Sejarah Melayu (The Malay Annals), it was called Singapura.

Possibly ruled by an elite class who lived on what is now Fort Canning Hill, Singapore was connected by trade and politics to not only the Malay Archipelago, but also Siam (Thailand), China and India. Learn about the commonly traded items such as ceramics and hornbill casques, as well as Singapore’s inhabitants and their ways of life

Crown Colony (1819 – 1941)

In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles and Major William Farquhar arrived in Singapore. They struck a deal with the local Malay rulers to set up a British trading port, which Raffles declared would be “open to ships and vessels of every nation free of duty”. This brought in traders and ships from as far away as Arabia and Africa.

Singapore became a Crown colony in 1867. As the British empire flourished, so did Singapore. By 1919, Singapore was a modern city, boasting the second largest dry dock in the world with modern conveniences such as electricity, motorcars, and international telegraph and telephone connections.

Here, you will discover key historical figures and how they helped to catapult Singapore to become the centre of trade in Southeast Asia by the 1850s. You can also catch a glimpse of the migrants’ customs and way of life, complete with a replica of the opium dens they used to frequent.

Syonan-To (1942 – 1945)

Before World War Two began, the British had equipped Singapore with coastal guns and an air force. Singapore became known as the “Gibraltar of the East” or “Fortress Singapore”.

On 8 December 1941, Singapore experienced war for the first time when the Japanese bombed the city. After a swift 70-day campaign, the Japanese defeated the British and occupied the Malay Peninsula and Singapore. Singapore was placed under military occupation and renamed Syonan-To (“Light of the South” in Japanese). The Singapore population struggled with food and fuel shortages, disease and, at its worst, violence and harassment from the Japanese. The occupation ended only when Japan surrendered to the Allies in 1945.

Explore a wide range of military artefacts including weapons, uniforms and a replica of a Japanese tank used during World War Two, and trace how key events of the war unfolded. Through personal belongings, photographs and documents, discover life under the Japanese Occupation and how various individuals and groups responded with resourcefulness and fortitude during this difficult period.

Singapore (1945 – present)

After World War Two, a wave of decolonisation began to sweep through Asia and Africa. In 1959, Singapore was granted self-government and the first general election for a fully-elected government was held. The People’s Action Party (PAP) won and its leader, Lee Kuan Yew, became Singapore’s first prime minister. Following a merger with, and then separation from, Malaysia, Singapore became a fully independent nation in 1965.

Over the next two decades, the government tackled the challenges faced by the growing nation, such as unemployment and insufficient housing. It took bold steps to introduce industrialisation, encourage foreign investment and tourism, provide modern public housing and education, and clean up the environment.

The artefacts here provide a glimpse into some of these key developments in the years after Singapore’s independence.

DA VINCI: SHAPING THE FUTURE

Da Vinci: Shaping the Future is a journey through the work and legacy of the most celebrated artist and scientist of all time, Leonardo da Vinci. Presenting original masterpieces by da Vinci for the first time in Southeast Asia, the exhibition focuses on the Codex Atlanticus, da Vinci’s largest notebook.

Featuring groundbreaking designs, stunning artistic sketches and pioneering technological innovations, the Codex Atlanticus is the basis for an exploration of five key areas of da Vinci’s mastery: mathematics, natural sciences, architecture, technology, and music.  Original paintings by the School of da Vinci are presented in the centre of the exhibition, while the original pages of the Codex Atlanticus are displayed at the end.  Interwoven throughout the journey are five contemporary art installations, including three new commissions, which reveal how da Vinci's ideas and thinking remains strikingly resonant today.

Combining his original works, with innovative contemporary design, interactive exhibits, technology, film and contemporary art, the exhibition presents rich insights into da Vinci’s art, science, technology and his fascination with nature.  As the pioneer of what has become known as systemic thinking, da Vinci's approach to interweave connections among different disciplines, mark him out as a figure centuries ahead of his time.  Although he was born more than 500 years ago, da Vinci's genius, creativity, and unique approach continue to inspire and shape the future we live in.
 
As Asia's only museum exploring the intersection between art, science and technology, there is no more fitting venue for Southeast Asia's first exhibition of original masterpieces by history's most canonical artist and scientist

Singapore's Most Well-Known Icon

The legendary Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion’s head and a fish’s body – as a guardian of prosperity which personifies Singapore’s history as an important seaport. The lion head depicts the folklore of Prince Sang Nila Utama’s discovery of lion (singa) and City (pura) while the fish tail symbolises the fishing village of ‘Temasek’, also known as ‘sea-town’ in Javanese. Today, the majestic Merlion is a Singapore icon attracting visitors from all around the world.

If you walk past some of the significant sites in the Lion City, you’ll meet more than one Merlion. There’s the 8.6-metre porcelain statue at Merlion Park, another 2-metre cub porcelain statue right behind it, a 3-metre statue Mount Faber and many more! Nevertheless, there’s nothing compared to the majestic 37-metre-tall concrete Merlion on Sentosa Island.

Unlike it's predecessor by the Esplanade, Sentosa Merlion distinguishes itself as the only Merlion in Singapore where you can enter to uncover it's origins and story. 

Facts & Design

Completed in 1995, Sentosa Merlion was designed and sculpted by an Australian Artist, James Martin.

Positioned at the heart of the island, the Sentosa Merlion stands on a base that resembles the bagua* which is believed to bring about prosperity and affluence. Each of the majestic creature’s 320 scales is shaped like the bagua too.

And if you pay close attention to more intriguing details inside, you’ll notice that each of the Sentosa Merlion’s teeth represents a different ethnic group in Singapore – Malay, Chinese, Indian and Eurasian – signifying prosperity for all citizens of Singapore.

Standing strong and majestic, this must-see icon is still, by far, the largest and tallest Merlion in Singapore.

*Bagua is an auspicious tool used in Feng Shui to direct energy towards prosperity.

Built in 1902, this double-storey villa was bought by Singapore pioneer and rubber magnate, Teo Eng Hock in 1905, for his aged mother. It was then named Wan Qing Yuan to symbolise Teo Eng Hock‘s hope that his mother would enjoy peace and happiness in her twilight years. 

When Dr. Sun Yat Sen chose Singapore as the nerve centre of his revolutionary movement in Southeast Asia, Teo Eng Hock offered the place to Dr. Sun to support his revolutionary activities. It was in this very villa that Dr. Sun shared his revolutionary ideals with his Nanyang supporters.

Re-opened to the public on 9 October 2011, the revamped Memorial Hall pays tribute to the vital role played by Singapore and Nanyang in the 1911 Revolution. Focusing on the contributions of Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s key supporters in Singapore, the refurbished museum sheds light on the lesser-known details of Singapore and Nanyang’s involvement in the 1911 Revolution.  

The Memorial Hall also shares how the 1911 Revolution left its lasting imprint on Singapore, especially in the areas of education, print media and economic contributions.  This Singapore and Nanyang-centred focus is what sets the Memorial Hall apart from other museums and institutions dedicated to the legacy of Dr. Sun Yat Sen around the world.
