National Museum: Museum Based Learning

Museum-based Learning: Artefactually Speaking at the National Museum

In this artefact-centric programme, co-developed with the Ministry of Education, students will explore the National Museum's galleries in independent groups while guided by a Passport activity booklet. They will also get to discover fascinating stories about specific artefacts from Singapore’s 700 years of history as they interact with our Museum Educators.

Details

This facilitated programme empowers students to independently explore the galleries, while looking for Museum Educators who will share stories and converse with them about the museum's artefacts and Singapore's past.

Learning Objectives: Students will understand how different groups or individuals in Singapore’s history created connections with one another, places and experiences. The programme also aims to spark curiosity in students to think about connections in their daily lives.
