Authentic shophouse recreations – Roam through lifelike interiors—from tailor workshops and apprentice quarters to crowded living cubicles and shared courtyards—faithfully reconstructed to reflect 1950s Chinatown.

Immersive storytelling – Each gallery envelops visitors in the era through ambient soundscapes, narrated audio, and even brief sensory effects like traditional scents, enriching the emotional atmosphere.

Gallery themes across three levels – Explore “Shophouse Living” (Level 1), “Arrival & Settling In” (Level 2), and “Migrant Life & Heritage Brands” (Level 3), tracing migrants’ journeys, challenges, cultural cohesion, and legacies.

Flexible and Independent Experience – Perfect for travelers who prefer freedom over group tours.
