The National Museum of Singapore (NMS) is marking the nation’s 60th anniversary of independence with two new exhibits that explore Singapore’s journey from a settlement to a global city. These experiences, titled “Once Upon a Tide: Singapore’s Journey from Settlement to Global City” and “Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time,” aim to highlight the country’s transformation and significant milestones over the past 700 years.
“Once Upon a Tide” offers visitors an immersive experience, tracing Singapore’s evolution from its early days as a settlement to its current status as a bustling metropolis. Meanwhile, “Singapore Odyssea” provides a chronological journey through the nation’s history, showcasing key events and developments that have shaped its identity.
These exhibits are part of the museum’s efforts to engage the public with Singapore’s rich history and cultural heritage. By presenting these stories in an engaging and interactive manner, the NMS hopes to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the nation’s past and present.
The museum’s initiative underscores the importance of preserving and sharing Singapore’s history, especially as the country continues to evolve. As the NMS celebrates this significant milestone, it invites both locals and tourists to explore these new experiences and reflect on the nation’s remarkable journey.
