The Changi Museum

The Changi Museum offers a poignant reminder of the suffering endured by POWs during World War II in Singapore.

It features replicas of Changi Murals painted by POW Stanley Warren, and a replica of the original Changi Chapel, serving both as a historical site and a place of reflection.
