On the 18th of May 2024, the Heritage Institution of the National Heritage Board in Singapore visited the Penang Indian Heritage Museum. The purpose of their visit was to understand the museum’s role in fostering community engagement and contributing to heritage preservation. They sought to learn about the strategies, programs, and best practices implemented by the museum to achieve these objectives. Additionally, they aimed to gain insights into our community engagement and heritage preservation initiatives and explore potential opportunities for collaboration or knowledge sharing.
During their visit, we conducted a comprehensive site tour and engaged in detailed discussions, allowing the visitors to achieve their objectives. They were impressed by the museum’s efforts and expressed interest in future collaborations. The visit was a valuable opportunity to share our experiences and establish a connection with the Heritage Institution of the National Heritage Board in Singapore for mutual benefit.
