Changi Chapel and Museum
Second World War museum on the Changi internees, reopened on 19 May 2021
Changi Chapel and Museum is a Second World War museum on Upper Changi Road North in the Changi planning area, dedicated to the prisoners of war and civilians interned in the Changi prison camp during the Japanese Occupation. Opened in 2001 and managed by the National Museum of Singapore, it closed for a revamp and reopened on 19 May 2021, a reopening delayed by a year because of COVID-19.
Visitors enter past a replica of St George's Church, one of the many churches that prisoners of war built in Changi during their internment. The galleries, titled Changi Chapel, Life as Prisoners of War, Resilience in Adversity and Legacies, follow the internees through personal objects and stories gathered from their families during the revamp. The narrative is centred on remembrance and reflection.
Opening hours are 9.30am to 5.30pm from Tuesday to Sunday, with last admission at 5pm, and the museum is closed on Mondays except public holidays. Admission is free for Singapore citizens and permanent residents, while other visitors buy tickets. Upper Changi MRT station (DT34) on the Downtown Line is the nearest train stop, and bus services 2 and 29 stop at the Changi Chapel Museum stop outside. Parking on site is limited.
