MHC’s Dari Rantau Ke Rumah Public Engagement Series brings together academics and community partners to explore the history, arts, and cultural heritage of the Malay Archipelago through selected artefacts in the museum’s permanent galleries. Building on the galleries’ core themes, the series provides a more nuanced exploration through curated talks that delves deeper into the themes, objects, and stories that shape its galleries — tracing the movements, connections, and inheritances that define Malay identity in Singapore and the wider region.
