📅 11 to 26 Oct 2025
⏰ 10am – 7pm (Daily)
📍 National Museum of Singapore
This October, join the National Museum of Singapore in marking its 138th anniversary with a spooky cute twist! In collaboration with local artist Ven (@vensroom), four curious creatures from our William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings – the koel, moonrat, mangrove snake, and grey-cheeked flying squirrel – have been transformed into imaginative illustrations, brought to life as whimsical and curious denizens of the day and night, adding a touch of playful spookiness for the season.
Embark on a stamp rally adventure from 11 – 26 October and uncover these animal friends across the Museum grounds, where each stop invites you to experience the exhibitions in fresh and engaging ways.
Collect stamps on daytime or nighttime themed cards and uncover fun insights as you journey through A Whale of a Tale, Singapore Odyssea, and Once Upon a Tide, along with a last chance to explore our Singapore History Gallery before it closes for our revamp on 17 November 2026.
Don’t miss the whimsical photo wall on Level 2, where you can step into both day and night – from a charming daytime scene to a magical moonlit scene – complete with mirrors for playful snapshots against the Museum’s historic architecture. Visitors who complete the stamp rally on weekends can also redeem an exclusive koel plush bag charm at the redemption booth, available in limited quantities.
Come celebrate 138 years of stories, creativity and community at the National Museum of Singapore!
