Changi Chapel & Museum

Finally, this post is published~ haha.

The Changi Museum contains many exhibits related to the events during the Japanese occupation. There are 5 zones:

Zone 1: Storyboard

Storyboard displays telling you about the war + showcases of items and artefacts related or used during World War II

Zone 2: Changi Prison Section

Tells you about life in Changi Prison + floor plan of an actual Changi cell in the Gaol (printed on the floor) + Changi Prison cell door + a block of the original Changi Prison wall + a replica of one of the surviving Changi Quilts (go to the museum to read the story behind the Changi Quilts!)


Zone 3: Changi Murals

Zone 4: Wartime Artists
Paintings and drawings by the prisoners and civilian internees + items made by them


Zone 5: End of the War
Storyboards featuring various events and war personalities + plaques and badges + a small section which imitates the Kokonut Grove (where performances were held for entertainment in the Changi Gaol)

The trip to the Changi Chapel & Museum was an enriching one! You can also use audio sets to listen to the experiences of those imprisoned in Changi during the war (check out the rates at the Changi Museum website). There are many artefacts and stories and you'll get to learn a lot more. The Changi Murals were an eye-opener too!

There is much to learn and see at the Changi Chapel & Museum! Admission is free!
