Singapore’s defence story stretches from the sea to the sky, with plenty to discover in between. Defence Collective Singapore brings the Singapore Discovery Centre, Singapore Navy Museum and Singapore Air Force Museum together under one collective, each exploring different pieces of the country’s history through aircraft, artefacts, interactive exhibits, and hands-on experiences.

Witness Singapore’s story from a new perspective at Singapore Discovery Centre
Rather than focusing on one branch of the military, Singapore Discovery Centre takes a wider look at Singapore’s story, with interactive galleries specifically designed to get visitors involved, as opposed to simply observing.
You can step into Through the Lens of Time, explore contemporary Singapore at Sandbox, or take on Black Lake Shadow Grid, an immersive team challenge centred around completing missions with your squad of friends. If you fancy a bit more thrill, there are even paintball arenas for those keen to test their marksmanship. Experience larger-than-life cinematic thrills at iWERKS Theatre, Singapore’s largest flat-screen theatre. And for those wanting to return for another round, there’s a membership programme offering exclusive benefits across selected attractions and events.
Set sail through Singapore’s naval history at the Singapore Navy Museum
The Singapore Navy Museum traces the evolution of the Republic of Singapore Navy, shepherding visitors through its maritime history and the role it plays in safeguarding Singapore’s waters. Historical artefacts sourced from decommissioned ships are on display alongside immersive exhibits and interactive activities exploring the people, operations and technology behind the Navy.
There’s also a new experience, Captain’s Conquest, which is an interactive adventure that puts a more hands-on spin on exploring the museum, throwing traditional gallery viewing out the window in favour of a far more engaging visit.
Look up towards Singapore’s aviation history at the Singapore Air Force Museum
The Singapore Air Force Museum traces the development of the Republic of Singapore Air Force through interactive galleries, personal stories and some seriously large exhibits. Speaking of, visitors can get a close up look at fighter jets, helicopters and anti-aircraft systems while learning about those who served across different generations of the RSAF. Interactive displays and role-playing games are also woven into the story, alongside galleries, artefacts and merchandise for anyone with an interest in aviation.
See all three come together at Defence Collective Festival 2026
On 14 and 15 November, the Defence Collective Festival returns for its second year, bringing together the Singapore Discovery Centre, Singapore Navy Museum and Singapore Air Force Museum for two days of interactive exhibits, live programmes, workshops and plenty of family-friendly activities.
Entry is free with registration here, while the All-Access Pass at SGD 10 opens up exclusive activities and access across all three museums, you’ll also receive a tote bag and stamp collecting booklet.
