The National Museum of Singapore will be showing a short film LKY100: The Life and Legacy of Lee Kuan Yew (1923–2015) by Singaporean filmmaker Royston Tan, in commemoration of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s 100th birth anniversary. The 5-minute film aims to pay tribute to Singapore's first prime minister and his lasting impact on the nation, featuring a collage of the late Mr Lee’s iconic speeches over the years. It will be presented in the concluding section of the museum’s Singapore History Gallery and in a digital trail, an augmented on-site experience, within the museum that presents Mr Lee’s legacy.
This digital trail offers insights into the historical and contemporary significance of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew as a political figure. Through key artefacts and multimedia displays, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of his life and values in relation to Singapore's journey.
To join the digital trail, simply register using your mobile device by scanning a QR code at either the Singapore History Gallery on level 1 or at the Semangat yang Baru exhibition gallery, located in the basement level of the National Museum.
You’ll also stand a chance to receive a unique gift from the vending machine positioned at the Singapore History Gallery on Level 1 after completing the trail. This special gift draws inspiration from Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's iconic red box, offering visitors a precious keepsake to bring home.
As National Day approaches, selected scenes from the film will also be projected onto the museum's infrastructure. The facade light-up display will run from July 21 to August 9, between 7.30pm and midnight.
