International Museum Day (IMD)
Since 2006, the National Heritage Board (NHB) has celebrated the IMD in Singapore through events and activities at the NHB’s museums during the last two weeks of May.This year's theme is 'Holiday Fun at Home', focusing on family and children to encourage a regular museum-going culture among families.
IMD 09 will feature a Family Carnival at National Museum.A slew of activities for children include puppet and storytelling performances, craft workshops and an interactive playground for young children.
There will be a Chinese culture medley at the Asian Civilisations Museum, healthy ice-cream making at Healthzone, adventure trails at Baba House and the National Archives of Singapore, and the 'I Can Guide'programme at the Peranakan Museum, which trains children to be museum guides for their own peers.
All of NHB‟s museums will have Open House days where the public can enjoy free admission to international blockbuster exhibitions such as 'Christian Lacroix The Costumer' at the National Museum of Singapore and 'The Kangxi Emperor: Treasures from the Forbidden City' at the Asian Civilisations Museum.
