Unveiling the Life of Lee Kuan Yew: LKY: The Experience

Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, is a name etched in history. While he is widely recognised for his pivotal role in shaping the nation, there’s more to the man than his political legacy. Enter “LKY: The Experience,” an immersive journey that transcends the political arena and delves into the intimate chapters of Lee Kuan Yew’s life.

A Multi-Dimensional Exploration

Spanning over 20 immersive rooms, “LKY: The Experience” offers a unique narrative that unfolds in three distinct zones. Located at 11 Prinsep Link, this three-story exhibition covers 17,000 square feet, taking visitors on a captivating voyage through time and space.

The Moments: Unveiling Childhood and Turning Points

On Level 1, titled “The Moments,” visitors enter a meticulously recreated 1930s classroom reminiscent of Lee Kuan Yew’s childhood. The journey continues through his grandparent’s plantation, symbolising pivotal moments like the Japanese occupation. One striking exhibit features a burning clothesline, representing turning points in his extraordinary life.

The exhibition doesn’t shy away from emotional depth, showcasing Mr. Lee’s thoughts on independence in an exotic cloud room. A vintage green car becomes a playful photo opportunity. At the same time, zones are dedicated to his inspiring wife, complete with handwritten letters, and their wedding reception at Raffles Hotel provides insights into his personal life.

The Beliefs: Interactive Engagement for All Ages

Moving to Level 2, “The Beliefs” section offers many interactive experiences. It caters to kids and adults, from colourful podiums for photo ops to ball pits with inflatables and problem-solving games. A whimsical rainbow slide, echoing Mr Lee’s iconic quote, encourages visitors to “follow that rainbow, go ride it,” emphasising pursuing goals and dreams.

The Legacy: Celebrating Extraordinary Achievements

The final chapter, “The Legacy,” brings visitors face-to-face with Lee Kuan Yew’s remarkable achievements. Multimedia displays and hands-on activities celebrate his life as a child, student, husband, and leader, providing a comprehensive understanding of the man behind the name.
