SINGAPORE - Night At The Gem Museum is a special event aimed at making gemstones come alive, so to speak, a play on its movie franchise inspiration, Night At The Museum.

The Gem Museum, which is officially reopening at new premises in Perak Road on Saturday , is providing visitors with torches equipped with UV and LED lights to showcase the beauty of gemstones for the event on Friday nights in the month of June.

"I had to look through hundreds of carats of stones, and pick up those that really have a strong fluorescence that can display this kind of unique behaviour under UV light. So I had to constantly turn off the lights, switch on the lights to choose them." Ms Namita Sinha, 29, a content creator, who was at a preview of the event on Wednesday with her 41/2-year-old daughter Samaira, said:"I thought this would be a great opportunity to expose her to different kinds of gemstones. The things we see here, which are actually not very usual, attract kids."
