Preserving the Beautiful Tradition of Storytelling
This autumn Singapore's museums and libraries will turn into locations for unique Festival of Storytelling. 13 storytelling sessions (each 1 hour long) will take place within 3,5 months (3 September - 19 November). Professional award-winning storytellers, as well as amateurs from Singapore, Korea and Malaysia will take you into the magical world of fairy tales.
The culmination of the Festival will be 2 days of storytelling marathon. On 26 November in Woodlands Regional Library and on 3 December in the the Asian Civilisations Museum you'll get a chance to enjoy extraordinary interactive storytelling sessions from 11am till 8.30pm.
