Immersive flagship showcase invites Singaporeans to explore the nation’s story and future through AI and storytelling.
SINGAPORE – The SG60 Heart&Soul Experience, a new immersive flagship event jointly developed by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) and the National Library Board (NLB), opens its doors on 26 August at Orchard Library.
Running until 31 December 2025, the SG60 Heart&Soul Experience invites visitors on a unique, multi-sensorial journey across Singapore’s past, present and future. Using immersive storytelling and generative AI, the experience creates a personalised glimpse into what the future could hold for each visitor, guided by the showcase’s central theme: Where Home Will Always Be.
Developed by the creative minds behind the Singapore Bicentennial and the SG50 ‘Future of Us’ Exhibition, Heart&Soul is designed to deepen connections within the community, inspire discovery, and also touches hearts and souls.More than 110 partners from across Singapore’s public, private, and people sectors have contributed insights and future plans, brought to life through interactive displays and engaging digital content.
A key highlight is Windows in the Sky, a floor-to-ceiling multi-sensorial zone where visitors witness their personal future stories unfold alongside others through sound, visuals and immersive effects. The zone concludes with a dramatic finale sequence unique to each guest’s journey.
NLB Chief Executive Officer Mr Ng Cher Pong said, “As we commemorate the last 60 years of Singapore’s journey and NLB’s 30th anniversary, Heart&Soul is more than just reflecting on our past, present and future. It is about deepening our connections with one another as Singaporeans and as a nation. We have brought together a rich set of material from NLB’s collections as well as our partners, to tell the Singapore Story in an immersive, engaging way. We are excited to be able to offer a glimpse into what the future could hold, and to invite Singaporeans to discover possibilities about their own Singapore Stories too, in a place where home will always be. Our hope is that this experience inspires optimism and confidence in Singaporeans as we look ahead to the next 60 years and beyond.”
