Meeting Point: Peranakan Museum (39 Armenian Street, S179941)

This May, join us on a journey from the National Heritage Board’s most recently-reopened museum to its oldest. In celebration of the board’s 30th anniversary and the new Our SG Heritage Plan 2.0, these special guided tours will offer a tantalising slice of Singapore’s heritage through visits to the Peranakan Museum and the National Museum of Singapore.

Explore how the Peranakan Museum presents the origins and diversity of Peranakan culture, as well as the building’s history as the old Tao Nan School; delve into lesser-known facts and features of the more-than-century-old building that is home to the National Museum, and get a glimpse of spaces visitors normally don’t get to see.

Go beyond the galleries and exhibitions and discover new facets of heritage at our museums! Sign up on Peatix now!

After the programme, be sure to look for other exciting programmes offered by Singapore HeritageFest as it celebrates its 20th anniversary through Singapore’s surprising and rich history of sports and transportation! Don’t miss the specially-curated Homeground exhibition at the National Museum to add more spice to your meanderings around the city through our Top 10 Heritage Trails!
