Do you know that Singapore Sports Museum was first established in 1983 and originally located at the West Entrance of the National Stadium? After its closure in November 2007, public can only revisit the collection of information via a website. With the completion of the Singapore Sports Hub, Singapore Sports Museum reopens its door once again welcoming visitors to explore Singapore's sporting heritage and legacy.
The permanent galleries within Singapore Sports Museum includes "Building a Dream", "Chasing the Dream", "Dream Venue, "Living the Dream" and "Collective Dream". Many exhibits were donated or on loaned by athletes and fans.
Catch a video clip on how Singapore Sports Hub was constructed, read more about Singapore's pioneering sporting clubs, learn about the challenges faced by the athletes and admire the medals earned by their determination and hard work.
I am sure many are familiar with Ang Peng Siong, ex-national swimmer who has done Singapore proud winning many gold medals in the Southeast Asian Games and was awarded the "World's Fastest Swimmer". Apart from medal, you also get to see the swimming trunks he wore during one of the games in 1990. What a surprise! Plus, do not miss the touchscreen information panels to learn more about the athlete and the sport history.
Re-look into the career of Fandi Ahmad, "Singapore's favourite soccer son" who becomes a household name after the Malaysia Cup.
I guess this is the only museum which has a running track within its space. I wonder if anyone would be keen to compete and take a sprint for the exhibits.
Being selected as the host city for the first Youth Olympic Games was a significant sports event in Singapore. Till now, the children remembered the events and the days we we spent at the Float @ Marina Bay and Youth Olympic Park.
Lyo (red male lion) and Merly (blue female merlion), were the official mascots for 2010 Summer Youth Olympics held in Singapore.
If you have missed the opening or closing ceremony for YOG, Here's an opportunity to re-live the moment then via big screen.
It was a little learning journey for Gladys, exposing her to local sporting history. Admission to Singapore Sports Museum is free for Singaporeans (valid photo identifications must be presented prior to entry). For non-Singaporeans, charges applies ($10 for adult, $5 for student/Senior citizens). Children under 6 years old enters for FREE! You may like to stop by the Singapore Sports Museum on your next visit to the Sports Hub.
