Intersections at the Cemetery

Let our personality take you through a journey across time — learn the stories behind deaths and burials of a time when Singapore was a colony, discover diaries and recollections of the war, and discuss the contributions of Singapore's pioneers, and how fascinating parts of the nation's history was charted.

At A Mystical Spot

Gather at a secret mystical spot, located in one of the now-defunct Chinese Kampong sites within the cemetery forest. Discover how the living lived and continues to live among the dead, the effects that modern life and people have had on the spot, and a creative take on how we continue to keep alive the stories of those who came before us.

Culture, Art and Architecture

Discover more on the salvation of the iconic Bukit Brown Cemetery gates, the creation of ad hoc shrines, and the material culture of Bukit Brown — you might even draw a surprising link or two back to European history by understanding the use of decorative elements and materials.

Journey through time to the late 19th century up until the pre-war era of the 1930s in Singapore. As you take a walking tour of different estates, learn about the history and stories of the British colonial houses that were built then. Admire the splendour of their unique black and white characteristics, set within lush greenery, that paved way to an unrivalled architecture legacy in the region. If you’re lucky, get to meet the owner of one of these splendid houses and get a rare peek at interesting collectables and antiques that he has curated over the years.
