Don't forget human touch as SG60 exhibitions go digital

I recently attended the SG60 exhibition at the Orchard Library.

While I appreciate the initiative to celebrate Singapore's 60 years of progress, I would like to share some sincere feedback and suggestions for improvement.

The exhibition showcased various decades mainly through digital screens and fashion displays. However, it felt somewhat superficial.

The visuals of clothing and passing images did not truly convey the life, struggles or spirit of the people of those times.

It lacked the human stories that make history meaningful.

The experience was largely self-guided. Although staff were present, they mainly assisted visitors with handling the devices.

A guided explanation or some personal interaction would have greatly enhanced the experience.
