Reflections at Bukit Chandu

This collaborative programme brings together three esteemed institutions: Children’s Museum Singapore, which inspires curiosity and learning through play for children aged 12 and under; Changi Chapel and Museum, which honours the resilience of prisoners of war during the Japanese Occupation; and Reflections at Bukit Chandu, a World War II interpretative centre commemorating the bravery of the Malay Regiment. Together, the three museums offer a rich, multi-faceted learning experience for all ages.
