Asian Journeys

An Old New World

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SINGAPORE ON GOING UNTIL MARCH 29, 2020

-

At the Exhibition Galleries, Basement Level, explore the 200 years leading up to the establishm­ent of an entrepôt in Singapore in 1819, beginning with the bustling world of trade in the East Indies that attracted the Dutch and British East India Companies from the early 17th century. The European entry into the region was only part of its longer history. This exhibition is a telling of that story, and a reflection of the broader forces at play that culminated in the events of 1819. Admission is free for Singaporea­ns and Singapore Permanent Residents.
