SG60 Heart&Soul Experience Opens at Orchard Central

Singapore’s future takes centre stage today as Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong officially launched the SG60 Heart&Soul Experience, the flagship event celebrating the nation’s 60th birthday. The grand opening at Orchard Central gathered over 300 guests, including artists from Shaping Hearts, youths from the National Youth Council, partner organisations, and government agencies.

Joining the launch were Mrs Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information; Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information; Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth; and Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State for Digital Development and Information.

A Journey Through Time and Possibility

Developed by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) and the National Library Board (NLB), the Heart&Soul Experience takes visitors on an immersive voyage through Singapore’s past, present, and imagined future. Using storytelling and generative AI, the showcase creates personalised encounters that draw inspiration from more than 110 partners across the public, private, and people sectors, including ForwardSG.

As the official SG60 highlight, the exhibition invites Singaporeans to reflect on the nation’s journey while inspiring hope and confidence in the shared future beyond SG60.
