Singapore History Gallery

The history gallery have gone through some major renovations to improve facilities and to create a new experience for visitors in the museum.

When visitors walk into the gallery's main entrance on level 1, they are welcomed by the nice breeze of the multimedia projections of a map of Singapore from 1700s made by a European traveller who navigated the world in that century.

In Singapore, they built a naval base at Sembawang, strengthened the air force and installed large 15-inch coastal guns.

While the war continued elsewhere, the Singapore population struggled with food and fuel shortages, disease and, at its worst, violence and harassment from the Japanese.

Modern Developments showcases the brief history including the late 1990s, at least where Ng Pei Seng placed his D&T semi-preserved exhibit, that is from 1999.
