Changi Museum: Inspiring Stories From the Second World War
The unique Changi Museum is an important museum that that reflects the history of Singapore during World War II.
The Changi Museum that can be explored today was relocated on 15 February 2001. The museum was formally positioned in the Old Changi Prison Chapel and Museum which was built in 1988. The relocation of the museum took place as a result of the expansion programme of the Changi Prison.
The new Changi Museum was opened for public viewing by Trade and Industry Minister BG George Yeo. This exceptional national museum is devoted to those who lived and sacrificed their lives in Changi and the whole of Singapore during the Second World War. Therefore, it is an unmatched place for those keen on discovering the many inspiring and heroic stories during the war times.
This inspiring museum houses numerous paintings, pictures, documents and many other mementos that were donated by past Prisoners-of-War also known as POWs.
At the ‘entrance gallery’, visitors are given a clear idea on life in Changi prior to the war. Further down, visitors will come across special tools and a material, other artefacts, belongings of POW’s, used during the times of the war. Most artefacts that can be viewed in the many showcases at the museum are significant donations of several key organisations, POWs and their relatives.
To learn about the many interesting facts on the war and how it all took place, visitors can have a look at the story boards. Special quotes and sayings by POWs and war experts are also displayed on these story boards.
Visitors can choose from the many different types of tours available at the Changi Museum. For example, the museum offers in-house tours, Audio tours, Changi WWII and Battlefield Tour, Changi World War II or even Customised Tours.
There are many Singapore hotels that offer easy access to the famous and intriguing Changi Museum. For instance, travellers can stay at the well appointed Copthorne Orchid Hotel Singapore and experience comfort, warm hospitality and professional service at its best.
