Exploring the National Museum with the Get Curious! Guide
Using the Get Curious! book, parents and children can go on a joint exploration of the National Museum’s galleries together. At 116 pages long, the guide has plenty of content – more than can be consumed in one visit; families can make use of it over multiple visits to National Museum of Singapore.
The book also includes additional activities which can be carried out at home for continued learning.
Get Curious the official interactive guide is available from June 2019 at an introductory price of $18 at National Museum of Singapore. It will be available in major bookstores from July 2019.
Wong Hong Suen, Deputy Director, National Museum of Singapore said, “We hope that Get Curious! will enable families to spend meaningful time together as they explore the museum and our stories, and to create memories and stories of their own. We look forward to creating more of such conversations across generations, through exciting collaborations with families and partners from the pre-school sector.”
