The colonial splendor of the National Museum, unveiled on Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee in 1887, reflects the British empire at its most confident. Following Singapores independence in 1965, the building was developed as a monument to the countrys history and culture. The rear of the museum is a modern wing, its glass and steel offering a striking contrast to the original, restored building. Singapores story is told largely using interactive exhibits.

This exhibition looks at the ways Singapores people responded to the harsh conditions of Japanese occupation, when the island was renamed Syonan.
The four interesting permanent galleries on Level 2 of the old wing comprise the Life in Singapore exhibition, including the Surviving Syonan, Modern Colony, Growing Up, and Voices of Singapore galleries.

The 1950s and 1960s were a turbulent period. Growing Up shows how post-war children grew up amid social upheaval, and explores how villages, schools, and entertainment venues helped them to evolve a sense of self.

The National Museums most iconic architectural feature is the Rotunda Dome. Between 2004 and 2005, all 50 pieces of stained glass were removed from the dome and carefully restored, a lengthy and painstaking process. The final effect is stunning. On a clear day, the sun filtering through the Victorian floraland square patterns throws a ring of pretty colored lights on the floor.
