Depending on your age, a tour in Wee's Collection will either be nostalgic or educational.

The private museum in Changi is owned by vintage collector David Wee.

37-year-old Wee has been collecting the artefacts for about 25 years now, and he estimates to have spent about S$100,000 in total.

The space is arranged into a theme-based gallery — expect set-ups of a barbershop, coffeeshop, tailor shop, all designed to transport you back to 1970s Singapore.

If you'd like to display a piece of history at your events, Wee's Collection also offers heritage set-ups and prop rentals.

30 minutes of Show & Tell

During Phase 2 of Singapore's re-opening, the heritage museum operates strictly on an appointment-only basis.

There is also a limit of five persons per visit.

For S$5 each, visitors will be brought around for a 30-minute Show & Tell session.

Those who wish to carry out shoots on the premises will need to book a separate package.

To book a session or enquire, WhatsApp Wee at 9173 7915.

Address: 512 Changi Road, Singapore 419913.
