Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at two of the National Museum's special exhibitions – Home, Truly: Growing Up With Singapore, 1950s to the Present and Picturing the Pandemic: A Visual Record of COVID-19 in Singapore.
Both exhibitions were put together in 2020, the year when COVID-19 swept the world and affected every aspect of our lives. What were the challenges faced by the curators of the two exhibitions, and how did they adapt to, innovate for and (re)create museum experiences in a time of pandemic?
Find out more in this special dialogue session that brings the curators together in conversation.
This programme was held in conjunction with the exhibitions Home, Truly: Growing Up with Singapore, 1950s to the Present and Picturing the Pandemic: A Visual Record of COVID-19 in Singapore.
