The National Museum is the country’s oldest of such institutions and is a guardian of the 11 National Treasures. Housed in an iconic building it proudly presents history and culture in a unique cutting-edge concept offering its visitors a memorable experience in exploring Singapore and the region. The concept used here is far from the traditional display of exhibits and uses innovative concepts to make history an interesting subject for all. The iconic architectural design is an actual blend of the old and the new where the original neo-classical structure built in the 19th Century was added on to with a modern design of glass and metal. Internally, the later addition practically doubled the exhibiting space and externally portrayed both the elegance and modernism – ideally showing off the grand history of the country as well as it high-tech future. The most famous galleries here are the History Galleries, featuring the memorable events of the country since the 14th Century, and Living Galleries including Film & Wayang, Photography, Food and Fashion. These are part of the permanent exhibitions of this institution. Apart from providing its visitors with a modern aspect of the conventional gallery experience, this institution hosts some of the best known festivals in the country. From the vibrant Night Festival to some of the best film screenings are contributions from the National Museum towards the uplift of the dynamic culture of the country. For its contribution towards the history and culture of the country the National Museum has won many prestigious awards which includes the Best Museum Award in 2009 and Design of the Year 2008.
