Army Museum of Singapore

The Army Museum of Singapore, located in the heart of the city, offers a comprehensive look into the nation’s military history and the contributions of National Service men. With over 500 sets of artifacts, including medals, personal memos, and a trainee bunk, the museum provides a sensory-rich experience of Singapore’s pre-independence era. Visitors can immerse themselves in the daily life of a soldier through the 30-minute interactive video ‘A Day in the Life’ in a special effects theater, which vividly depicts a modern army in battle. The museum also features an Adventure Land with a mini obstacle course, simulating combat fitness training. Young visitors can engage in the ‘Army Operations’ activity, decoding codenames, or explore ‘Robot World,’ where they control mechanical agents. A key exhibition, ‘Making of a Soldier,’ poignantly portrays the life of a 1970s National Service marine, complete with an original military bunk bed from the Pulau Tekong training camp and various pieces of military hardware.
