Summary details
At 119 years old, the National Museum of Singapore is Singapore�s biggest and oldest museum with the youngest and most innovative soul. Designed to be the people�s museum, the Museum prides itself on introducing cutting edge and varied ways of presenting history to redefine conventional museum experience.
