The National Museum of Singapore marks its 139th birthday with a celebration to remember at Stories of Everyday! Running from 10 to 18 October 2026, the festivities honour the lived experiences of Singaporeans across generations, while making new memories across the revamped Singapore History Gallery and museum grounds.
Be among the first to experience the renewed Singapore History Gallery, uncovering fresh perspectives on 700 years of Singapore’s past through new artefacts and stories. Step into the National Living Room, an immersive installation that recreates a living room of the past. Browse a curated selection of ceramics, stationery, art prints, homeware, accessories, food and more, at The Living Archive: A Living & Design Market by Of Wonder Wander, with a refreshed vendor line-up from 14 October.
Learn about the world of the Orang Laut with Orang Seletar artisans at A Lighter Side of History: Voices from the Sea, as they share about how their deep connections to our surrounding waters have shaped their lives and identities. Don’t forget to keep a lookout for special in-gallery pop-up characters or join The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company’s participatory dance performance or community jamming with Ann Siang Sounds.
You’ll even be able to say hello to Stoney, the Museum’s new mascot inspired by the Singapore Stone, a National Treasure housed at the Museum. Check out his larger-than-life installation at the Lawn, snap a pic with him as he wanders around the Museum groups or even create your own soft and cuddly Stoney with pipe cleaners with our drop-in craft activity, Stoney, A Softie at Heart!
Everyone’s invited so be sure to bring your loved ones as we embark on the museum’s next chapter together!
More details on the Stories of Everyday anniversary celebrations are available here. Be sure to keep an eye on the Museum’s social media pages, where you can follow Stoney’s Adventures!
