The exhibits are somewhat limited, as the place is not huge. But there is plenty to see, all the same. Some of the photos and descriptions were very troubling, as I suppose is to be expected at a war memorial. I did enjoy seeing the model of the cell where prisoners of war were housed during the Japanese occupation, and couldn't help but think of stiories I have heard from friends about that time in the history of this place.
I think the thing I most enjoyed seeing was the display of art work produced by many of the POWs while they were in Changi prison. It was poignant, but also a real testimony to both the human spirit, and the inhumanity that we can often see in humans.
Entry to the chapel and war memorial is free. It closes at 5 pm.
