Vintage Singapore

A retrospective of the recent past, Vintage Singapore evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and highlights the continuous rebirth of old familiar styles. Focusing on the post-war years, the National Museum of Singapore has collected objects of the everyday and, seen together in this book, they remind us of the exciting and stylish decades of the late twentieth century. The book is divided into 5 chapters, based on the Singapore Scene, Singapore Dining, Singapore Childhood, Singapore Style and Singapore Home. The collection spans ephemera from cinemas, coffee shops, school days, fashion and home-related artifacts. Presented in a colourful and stylish design, a “retro” and nostalgic feel gives the reader a reminder of days not long past.
