Heritage museum avails technology in CHC

Wednesday, February 14, 2018

Singapore’s Chinatown Heritage Centre (CHC) has undergone a makeover featuring unique elements both new and old.

It is located within three restored shop houses on Pagoda Street. There will be new multimedia guides with audiovisual commentaries in various languages in all galleries.

The augmented reality scenes will feature realistic and interactive photography props, as well as trishaw and walking trails around Chinatown.

The museum has also roped in the help of senior citizens aged 70-80 for Grandpa’s Shop,  here the seniors will interact with visitors and share their memories of Singapore’s olden days.

Yiow Beng Png, director (board of directors), CHC said that they want to make CHC more family and kids friendly and attract visitors who have aversion from museums  and do not like history much.

With its revamp, the centre is calling for partnerships with more travel agents to extend its reach to new markets such as Japan.
