From 28 Apr-14 May, the Singapore Heritage Festival will allow visitors to explore Singapore’s lesser-known stories through a specially curated line-up of programs and activities.
In case you were wondering about the price tag, almost all of the programs are free and open to public. And if you don’t have time to fully explore the entire programme (because there are more than 110 activities lined up), we picked out six highlights that are not to be missed:
4. Murals that bring your inner child out
The National Museum of Singapore will present Moving Memories, a collection of artworks by Yip Yew Chong. His art takes the form in life-sized murals that have captured the imagination of many.
Savour these moments in our tangible and intangible heritage, such as barbers in back lanes, traditional kopi-making and road-side communal satay-eating, as they come alive through animation, soundscape and projection in Gallery10, the museum’s new digital experimental space.
Snap a couple more for the ‘gram when you’re at it – your friends will think you’re in Penang!
