The Singapore History Gallery adopts a story-telling approach, unveiling different perspectives as you travel through tales of the past. To let you appreciate the struggles that early settlers had to overcome, you will be taken through the drama of major national events as well as the personal stories of individuals.
You can select your own 'path' into the past. The events path traces the major events and characters that were part of Singapore's history, while the personal path tells stories through the eyes of the man on the street. With our audio-visual companion that comes in four languages, listen to interesting insights and quips of your choice to complete this refreshing and enriching journey.
The Companion
The Companion is a multimedia handheld device specially designed to guide you around the Singapore History Gallery. Each Companion comprise of an LCD display, a pair of earphones and a keypad which enables you to enjoy audio, visual and textual content which complement the National Museum's physical collection of artefacts. You can read descriptions, listen to expert opinions and dramatised scenarios, as well as watch videos related to these artefacts by simply punching in the zone code you are in (located on the floor), followed by the numbers next to the artefacts.
