Housed in the elegant National Museum building, a national monument, the Singapore History Museum explores the rich heritage of the people of Singapore, from our ethnic and cultural diversity to our struggle for nationhood.

  Visitors can choose from an exciting array of exhibitions - from a recreated early 20th century Peranakan house to a tour of the 19th century paintings of South-east Asian flora and fauna commissioned by the first Resident of Singapore Major-General William Farquhar. A major highlight is The Singapore Story: Overcoming The Odds, a exhilarating 3D show that takes us through our nation's history, from the colonial period to present day Singapore. 

  The Singapore History Museum is a National Museum and an institution of the National Heritage Board.

The Singapore History Museum is currently closed for extensive renovation and extension works.
