As part of this year’s Children’s Season lineup, the National Museum of Singapore turns the spotlight on Singapore’s river heritage through a month-long programme featuring sensory activities, workshops, installations and theatre performances. Titled Get Curious! All About the River, the museum explores how the Singapore River has transformed over the years, from its early days as a trading port to a modern waterway.
Among the programme’s main highlights are educational workshops spanning pineapple canning, map-making, and STEAM-based activities that retrace the river’s evolution through science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. There’s also The River Road, an interactive drama experience that uncovers stories of the workers and communities along the port.
There are free activities to enjoy as well, including drop-in activities like origami-making and puppet storytelling, alongside interactive exhibits such as a life-sized boat display and an installation where visitors can role-play as early migrants. See here for the full list of programmes and details.
