National Museum of Singapore Collaborates with KIND KONES for NMS Sorbet Giveaway Event

Earlier in October, the National Museum of Singapore (NMS) invited Singaporeans to join in the celebration of its 136th birthday with a delightful offering of a mystery flavour NMS sorbet.

Held at the Level 2 Glass Atrium, the NMS Sorbet Giveaway event took place on Saturday, 7 October and Sunday, 8 October 2023. Visitors were welcome to indulge in this special treat from 1pm to 3pm and 4pm to 6pm. The sorbet giveaway was available on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last.

Mystery Flavour Inspired by Natural History

The NMS sorbet is inspired by the ongoing exhibition, “Now Boarding: Experiencing Singapore through Travel, 1800s – 2000s,” specifically the food and beverage section.

Working closely with Kind Kones, the National Museum crafted a vegan sorbet that features a ‘mystery flavour’ derived from one of the plants showcased in its renowned William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings. This collaboration combines culture, history, and a refreshing culinary experience.

Visitors were encouraged to participate in a guessing game – if you can correctly identify the ‘mystery flavour,’ you might be one of the five lucky winners to receive a $20 gift card, courtesy of Kind Kones.

Travel Back in Time

The event was not just about free ice-cream samples and mystery flavours; it was also an opportunity for visitors to embark on a captivating journey through 1980s Singapore. The museum featured a travel-themed pop-up room and offered an immersive audio tour that delves into the rich history and iconic tourist attractions that define Singapore.

Don’t forget to explore the “Now Boarding: Experiencing Singapore through Travel, 1800s-2000s” exhibition, where you can rediscover the evolution of Singapore as a travel destination.
