The Changi Chapel and Musuem (CCM) located close to Changi Prison is where thousands of Allied Prisoners-of-War (POWs) and civilians were held captive during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore from 1942 to 1945. This revamped place is to remember the experiences of those hel and a site of pilgrimage for the families of those held captive. It was closed for revamp since 2018 and finally open with new look, new logo and more enhanced experience.

What To Expect?
The revamped museum features eight exhibition zones. I will not go in details as I think it will be best for you to explore the exhibition yourself. As video-taking is not allowed, here are some snippets of the exhibition highlights. There are historical artefacts displayed in the exhibition sites too.



The highlight of the museum is the replica chapel featuring the Changi Cross. It is a representative of the various chapels of captivity and modelled after St. George’s Church. Made from the casing of a 4.5” howitzer shell and strips of brass from camp workshops, the Changi Cross was a feat of the POWs’ resourcefulness and ingenuity. Designed by Reverend Eric Cordingly, it was made by Staff Sergeant Harry Stogden with Sapper Tim Hemmings using a sharpened steel umbrella spike to engrave the badges of the four regiments making up the congregation of St George’s POW Church. The cross has been loaned on a permanent basis to Changi Chapel and Museum by Reverend Cordingly’s family.There is a corner where you can get the CCM publications and museum-inspired merchandise towards the end of the tour. It is right next to the registration counter.
