Yesterday Once More is held as part of The Fullerton Heritage’s Art in the City Programme. Organized in collaboration with the Singapore Philatelic Museum, the exhibition showcases postcards from Singapore's colonial days over a hundred years ago and showcases Singapore's rapid transformation from a traditional fishing village in the 1800s. Highlights also include the rapid changes along the Singapore River, especially in the Marina Bay area near the Fullerton Hotel.
The postcards are part of a collection of 500 that were donated to the Singapore Philatelic Museum in July 2006 by renowned philatelist, Professor Cheah Jin Seng. Dating back to the pre-war years and as far back as 1893, the exhibition, Yesterday Once More, was officially opened by Mr. Sam Tan, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth on 01 March 2013. The exhibition runs until 30 April 2013 and is being held at The Fullerton’s East Garden Foyer.
