There will also be an interactive trail online, called Let's Jalan-Jalan!, which will be launched on Saturday where armchair explorers can learn fun facts about 14 neighbourhoods with an island-wide hunt.

"Because of the pandemic, it's even more important we have Doraemon at the museum. I can imagine the happiness we give to our audience, especially at this difficult time."

The installation is in line with the museum's new positioning as a people's museum....the Doraemon installation has been curated with highlights of the museum's collections from the 1960s through to the 1980s: "It is the merging of the contemporary with the historical aspect. 

The pandemic has prompted the museum to think seriously about the institution's role and function, she adds: "We do have a very important role in various aspects of people's life. The museum is not just about Singapore history or history of civilisations, but also our social role. Increasingly, as we look at the depressing conditions and the circumstances, we also think about how the museum can be a social space for people, how it is related to the well-being and the mental health of our audience."
