The Changi Museum

Narrating the story of World War II in Singapore, The Changi Museum recounts the horrific stories of more than 50,000 civilians and soldiers who spent over three years of war and imprisonment in Changi during the Japanese occupation. The complex is a simple, white rectangle enclosing an open-air chapel, a replica of the one formerly used by the prisoners. Wartime artists such as Harold Young and William Haxworth drew over 400 sketches of daily life in Changi during the war. These along with other artefacts, drawings and photographs are displayed inside the museum. You can also sign up for a battlefield tour to discover more about the strategies, plots and follies that led to the fall of Singapore in the war.
