Surrender Room
This is the boardroom where the British surrender took place. Although the boardroom is real, the table and chairs are replicas. The table around which the British and Japanese surrender parties sat are now in the Australian War Museum while the seven teak chairs are in the Surrender Chambers on Sentosa. Visitors can feel the tension present in the room during the British surrender as they picture in their minds the two surrender parties sitting on both sides of the table and discussing the terms of surrender back in 1942. Boards in front of the boardroom showing the dialogue and pictures of the event, together with the short videos that visitors can watch, help add to the atmosphere. The room also provides them with a better idea of the venue where the British surrender took place. |
