Interactive exhibit charts 700 years of Singapore's history as maritime hub
Fancy a sampan ride across the Singapore River, battling choppy waters and navigating other vessels, all with passengers in tow? This is one virtual experience visitors to the National Museum of Singapore will get at a new exhibit from May 24. It shows the country's maritime history over the past 700 years, as part of the country's 60th birthday celebrations. More than 350 artefacts will be on display, alongside interactive digital formats. Muhammad Bahajjaj with a sneak peek.
