Special Exhibition - "Explore Singapore! Colours of Heritage"

The "Explore Singapore! Colours of Heritage" exhibition organized by the Singapore Philatelic Museum is funded by Singapore's "Renaissance City Plan". The exhibition is co-organized with the Communications Museum of Macao Post, after touring in the Philippines and Vietnam.

The exhibition aims to bring the rich culture and heritage of Singapore to life. Visitors will get to explore Singapore via interactive displays, philatelic collections and photographs. We hope this exhibition will enhance cultural exchange between Singapore and the Macao Special Administrative Region, and the friendship and cooperation between the two museums.
