7. Be hit with nostalgia by Singapore’s food packaging history
As part of its ongoing endeavour to tell the Singapore story in creative and engaging ways, the National Museum of Singapore is launching Packaging Matters: Singapore’s Food Packaging Story from the Early 20th Century. Officially opening on 6 April 2019, the exhibition chronicles the development of food packing in Singapore, from the early bottling and canning factories in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, to the light industries of the 1960s–70s when food was manufactured in factories.
Extending the visitor experience beyond its galleries, the National Museum will also be presenting a series of free public programmes on the exhibition’s opening weekend on 6 and 7 April.
Catch screenings of Royston Tan’s Old Friends as well as selected finalists from the Singapore Heritage Short Film Competition 2018 throughout the day. Enjoy an indoor picnic while discovering the personal stories of the people who produce, retail and consume food in Singapore’s shifting heritage food landscape. Spark your creativity with fun craft activities for all ages: design your own lunch bag by creating unique brands with your family, print on a tote bag, or try your hand at upcycling with glass bottles! There will also be storytelling by author Lianne Ong for families with young ones.
Plus, admission is free for all!
