New operating hours, safety guidelines, and what to see and do at Asian Civilisations Museum, National Gallery Singapore, National Museum of Singapore, and more
When we entered phase two on June 19, religious services and congregations, cultural venues, large-scale events and entertainment venues, which were at risk for large clusters, remained close.
In a press conference on June 15, health minister Gan Kim Yong shared that phase two would be a gradual process towards a new normal in phase three, with these venues gradually resuming operations when they are ready.
It appears that we are now on course towards it, as the National Museum of Singapore, National Gallery Singapore and Asian Civilisations Museum are re-opening on June 26, with the Indian Heritage Centre, Malay Heritage Centre and Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall re-opening a week later on July 3.
As for bibliophiles, the National Library Board (NLB) has announced that all of its libraries will be welcoming the public again on July 1.
Of course, for the safety of the public, safety measures will be put in place at these venues. Here’s what to expect when you visit the libraries and museums in phase two.
