From the Coromandel Coast to the Straits: Revisiting our Tamil Heritage, the Indian Heritage Centre’s (IHC) latest special exhibition, explores this lesser-known narrative by presenting fresh perspectives of the history and identity of the Tamil community in Singapore and the region.
Through more than 230 objects from local and international collections, the stories of the journeys of the people from India’s Coromandel region to Southeast Asia are illustrated and told. Among these objects are rare artefacts from Singapore’s National Collection and other museums and institutions, precious family heirlooms from community lenders and donors, as well as 3D holographic showcases that harness technology to bring the past to life.
