PAYING HOME-AGE TO THE PAST
The past comes alive at this National Museum exhibition. Home, Truly: Growing Up with Singapore, 1950s to the Present, is a multi-sensory experience that captures once-familiar sights, sounds and even smells. Relive the country’s fledging years; reminisce about the myriad past campaigns; then remind yourself to stay resilient during crises like the ongoing pandemic. Accompanying resources such as photo scrapbooks and crosswords will keep the young ones entertained while the older folks wax nostalgic. The exhibition runs till August 29. More information can be found at the National Museum of Singapore website.

Find five eggs, and you could win prizes like scrumptious banana muffins. At the end of it, indulge in a spot of egg painting after your brush with nature. The hunt, organised by Bollywood Adventures, runs from April 2 to 4.
