It's been a long time since we've last visited the National Museum. The Singapore Night Festival 2026 provided the opportunity to do what we had missed over the years, and many people thought the same way too. A large throng of humanity surged into its wide chambers to attend two free exhibitions of Singapore history - Once Upon A Tide and Singapore Odyssea - A Journey Through Time. Both of dwelled on Singapore's maritime history and how that led to the development of a modern metropolis.
