Well preserved, unique architecture. The exhibition is small but very informative on the Japanese Occupation. Highly recommend for family outings to get the young ones away from their screens!

The Ford Factory Museum in Singapore is a must-visit for history buffs, offering a poignant glimpse into the city-state's experience during World War II. Housed in the original Ford Motor Company building, the museum's thoughtful curation and engaging exhibits recreate the scene of the British surrender to the Japanese and explore the struggles of living under Japanese rule. With free admission for Singapore citizens and permanent residents, the museum is an excellent choice for anyone looking to learn more about Singapore's past pertaining to WW2. Place is also a nice hideout from the heat

I had always wanted to visit this factory for the longest time so when I chance upon the opening hours while jogging outside, I just have to visit it. And it didn't disappoint. It showcases Singapore's history during the Japanese occupation and is one of my favorite museum. Surprised it's almost empty on a Saturday morning, give this place a go, really worth it.

This is an underrated museum. I recommended to those interested in WWII Japanese occupation of Singapore to visit this place. The museum is very conducive for history study with its artifacts and strong air-conditioning atmosphere. After the visit, I am more grateful than yesterday for the peace that we enjoy today.

It is free for Singaporeans. We arrived just in time for the guided tour. It was such a great experience with a guide knowing so much more about my own country- our guide David Yeo was very knowledgeable and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Nothing on Ford cars but about the world war II history. The building is well kept with archives on the British surrendering to Japanese during WWII. Another side on the lives post WWII. Good short educational trip.

Visited on a Saturday, and there was no crowd. Ample parking area. Citizens get free entry with identification. The exhibits were of pre World War two Singapore, and how Singapore fell into the Japanese hands, followed by the Japanese Occupation and a little of post World War two. Overall a well organised museum in a very historic building.
