Two museums closing many areas for big revamps
The National Museum of Singapore and the Asian Civilisations Museum (above) will undergo makeovers for most of next year.
Heritage lovers have expressed disappointment after hearing that two of Singapore's popular museums will be closing many of their exhibits for major revamps through most of next year - the country's 50th anniversary.
Parts of the National Museum of Singapore (NMS) have been closing gradually since last month. These include its History Gallery, four Living Galleries and the Goh Seng Choo space featuring the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings.
It will have only one major temporary exhibition called Singapura: 700 Years, which opens next month and runs until the middle of next year.
Meanwhile, up to four of the Asian Civilisations Museum's (ACM) 11 galleries will be closed at any one time during a year-long revamp which started at the Empress Place building in late June.
