Expo MRT station gets new naval theme to raise awareness of Singapore’s maritime heritage

Passengers taking the Downtown Line will be able to learn more about Singapore’s maritime defence story when they alight at Expo MRT station, which has been decked out in a naval theme that includes a physical 3D model of a submarine.

These QR codes have also been placed in three DTL trains, which feature information about the Singapore Navy Museum in its cabins for passengers on the go. The year-long initiative at Expo station is meant to raise awareness of Singapore’s maritime heritage, give passengers a preview of the navy museum, and encourage more people to visit its galleries at 112 Tanah Merah Coast Road.

The tie-up provides a unique and different way for commuters to learn about the navy’s history, and helps raise awareness about the need for total defence, he said.
