The civic district is set for a revamp with a total of $740 million to be spent to rejuvenate various buildings, landmarks and facilities to preserve the vibrant, heritage-filled municipality.
After a long awaited completion to the restored Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) announced in Parliament yesterday that they will be refurbishing the Asian Civilisations Museum, National Museum of Singapore and the Esplanade.

One highlight of the speech made by the Minister of Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong is the proposed plan for Jubilee Walk, a commemorative trail that connects the past, present and future elements of the Singapore Story. Set to launch this November, the trail will hold a mass walk that journeys from the National Museum of Singapore to Gardens by the Bay, where the futuretogether.sg exhibition will be held.
