via The Straits Times, 12 November 2021: A special exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore featuring its 73 national monuments.
Singapore’s 73 monuments are located across the island, but from Saturday (Nov 13) to Jan 2, they will all be “under one roof” – at an exhibition featuring renditions of them in various forms, from paper cuttings to 3D-printed models to virtual reality.
The exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore marks 50 years since the Preservation of Monuments Act came into force in 1971, which started the Republic’s preservation journey through the formation of the Preservation of Monuments Board.
It is today known as the Preservation of Sites and Monuments division under the National Heritage Board (NHB).
