Free Entry to Museums in May/June 2012

Just received this from public relations and thought it may interest some of you. This June holidays, NHB and Museum Roundtable are co-organizing Children's Season 2012. The event is now in its fifth year and you can read the details on the website. The piece of good news, even if you do not have kids, is that there would be free admission every weekend to different museums between now and 24 June!

Weekly Open House Days with Free Entry at our Museums

For the first time ever, Children’s Season 2012 will be offering free entry every weekend to different museums between 19 May and 24 June 2012. This offers Singaporeans a chance to explore our national museums’ offerings to the fullest with different activities held across the six weekends. For example, at the Asian Civilisations Museum, young visitors can put on their explorer’s cap and interact with interesting characters from the past as they go on a gallery trail to discover amazing treasures. Storytelling sessions at the Memories at Old Ford Factory, Reflections at Bukit Chandu and Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall will bring poignant moments in Singapore’s history back to life.

The excitement continues at other Museum Roundtable museums around the island. Have a blast with child-sized armouries at the Army Museum of Singapore, uncover fossils in mini-excavations at the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, or join workshops at the Infocomm Experience Centre. With so much to learn and experience, make this June holidays a fruitful and fulfilling one for your little ones.
