Discover the antique musical boxes in the first musical box museum in Singapore.

Dear Educators and School Administrators,

Every year, we are pleased to welcome many students from both Singapore-based and overseas schools.

Our guided tours provide students with the opportunity to explore the history of antiques, culture, and technology through the lens of Singapore’s craft heritage. By engaging with and experiencing antique musical boxes firsthand, students are encouraged to reflect on how tradition and innovation have shaped the world around them.

This initiative is designed to help the next generation learn about heritage and craftsmanship in an engaging and meaningful way.

For bookings or enquiries, please contact us through the Media Inquiries section.

Sincerely,

Singapore Musical Box Museum

—————

Overview

Musical Boxes were an important symbol of European culture dating back to the 19th century and early 20th century.

Historical resources have shown that Singapore played an integral part in the progress and development of musical boxes in South-east Asia during that time frame. 

In this Singapore’s first musical box museum, we aim to share the historical background from the rise to the fall of the musical boxes to how it made its way to Singapore in the 19th century to the public.

We aim to also, to function as a repository for academic research, education and above all, preservation of such artifacts in Singapore for future generations.
