Opening of Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium!
We are extremely proud to announce that we will have a new member to our family of attractions and this member comes in the form of a… museum! In case you are wondering if this is going to be like most other traditionally themed museum which features a primary exhibit, do continue to read on and find out more because we promise you that this is a museum like no other!
The Maritime Experiential Museum and Aquarium (MEMA) is Singapore’s first maritime museum and what makes it even more distinctive from other museums is that, it boasts a themed environment, along with a variety of complementary exhibits. All together, it brings to life the Maritime Silk Road via life-sized historic ship replicas, shipwreck artefacts, interactive exhibits and educational programmes for everyone.
Here’s a little sneak peek:
Look out for the Jewel of Muscat, a replica of a 9thcentury Arab dhow that was a gift from the Sultanate of Oman to the Government and People of the Republic of Singapore. It will be housed permanently at MEMA, where you can learn about its construction and historic voyage from Oman to Singapore.
Another unique attraction within the museum is the Typhoon Theatre, a 150-seat 360-degree multimedia theatre, where visitors “board” an Arabia-bound sailing ship and are taken on a voyage that takes on a perilous turn when it encounters a storm.
We look forward to welcoming you to MEMA. Look out for our announcement of its opening date!
