The year is 1912…

At the foot of Fort Canning Hill lies two primary schools. Tao Nan School has just opened on Armenian Street, offering modern education in Chinese. Standing opposite was a Methodist school for boys, also known as Anglo-Chinese School.

What were these schools like? What has changed across the years and what has remained?

Children's Museum Singapore

Let’s “Start with Wonder” at Children’s Museum Singapore. Children’s Museum Singapore is the first museum in Singapore dedicated to children 12 years old and below. It serves as a ‘starter museum’ to introduce young visitors and their families to the museum-going experience and facilitate a conducive environment for learning through play.
