The exhibition is housed in the historic former Ford Factory along Upper Bukit Timah Road, where the British surrendered to the Japanese forces on February 15, 1942. Spread across four zones, take in the diary entries, identity cards and war campaign documentary paintings on display, then reflect on the solemn beginnings of our nationhood.
