Have you been to the Fort Canning historical exhibition site?<\/p>\n

The Fort Canning historical exhibition site has been known for the past discoveries of artefacts and hardware originating from China\u2019s Yuan Dynasty period, suggesting the presence of a 14th-century palace workshop within the geographical area. More recently, Professor John Miksic (NUS Department of Southeast Asian Studies) and NTU Associate Professor Goh Geok Yian were involved in a digging stint within the unexplored areas of the Fort Canning historical site. The team discovered a rare Thai ceramic, suggesting historical interactions between Temasek (known as Singapore in the present day) and Thailand in the 14th century. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the day of the recent discovery, NParks also announced that the historical exhibition site will undergo a major revamp involving the addition of new features. This serves to raise awareness and to encourage Singaporeans to generate an interest in Fort Canning\u2019s heritage and the role it played in the historical relationship between Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. The new additions include the introduction of hands-on interactive features, the use of techno-savvy educational panels and display showing the soil and artefacts, and the opening of a larger open workshop area. Three historical flower gardens will also be constructed alongside a new outdoor garden, named Artisan Garden. Additionally, structures to improve pedestrian accessibility, such as a sheltered escalator, will be constructed.<\/p>\n
