Nearly two million people would have visited the SG60 Heart&Soul Experience by the time the event draws to a close on Dec 31, said the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) and National Library Board (NLB) on Thursday (Dec 18).
Launched by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Aug 26, the exhibition, marking Singapore’s 60th year of independence, uses immersive storytelling and generative artificial intelligence to create a personalised, imaginative experience — offering visitors a peek into what their future in Singapore can look like.
“The SG60 Heart&Soul Experience will welcome its last visitors on Dec 31, having run for nearly four months since its opening on Aug 26.
“The SG60 flagship event, which comprises a ticketed experience and a non-ticketed series of installations, is expected to welcome about 2 million visitors, with about 150,000 tickets booked,” said MDDI and NLB in their joint news release.
The organisers added that more than 7,000 visitors, who shared their feedback via an optional digitally-administered survey, had expressed optimism about Singapore’s future and their place in it after going through the event.
“Collectively, respondents envisioned a Singapore that balances progress with compassion; where economic strength goes hand-in-hand with social equity and care for the vulnerable,” noted MDDI and NLB.
