National Day Celebrations

From 18 July to 9 August, immerse yourself in a series of interactive experiences that celebrate the present and imagine the future, including a full day of vibrant programmes held across four floors of the museum on National Day.

Starting 18 July, be inspired by the Stories of Singapore: Building Our Heritage Brick by Brick, a colourful brick-filled showcase featuring a large-scale diorama of iconic Singaporean elements. Presented with programme partner The LEGO Group, and in collaboration with Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) and MJD Pro Group, visitors can look forward to flexing their creative sides by participating in digital colouring experiences, a hands-on LEGO Make & Take activity and even play a part in completing a record-breaking LEGO mural!

In the evening, watch the National Museum’s iconic facade come alive with the return of the crowd-favourite National Day Light-Up in Canvas of Light: Our Nation’s Journey. Visitors can watch Singapore’s story unfold through a refreshed visual experience with stunning light art that stands as a tribute to our nation’s resilience and unity.

On 9 August, enjoy a full day of fun-filled programmes and activities spanning four levels of the museum, inspired by the lyrics of the beloved 1987 National Day theme song, “We Are Singapore”, from exciting heritage hunts, thematic crafting activities and more. To wrap up the festivities, families are invited to gather on the National Museum’s Front Lawn for a relaxing picnic under the stars and a live screening of the National Day Parade 2025 from 5.30pm onwards.

Admission to the Stories of Singapore: Building Our Heritage, Brick by Brick showcase is free of charge, and all visitors can enjoy free admission to the National Museum on 9 August 2025.
