Established in 1996 by the National Heritage Board, the Museum Roundtable aims to promote a museum-going culture amongst Singaporeans. One of the activities organised that I look forward to each year would be the annual Lunar New Year Hongbao Campaign.
In its 8th edition in 2022, this set of cute Year of the Tiger 2022 red packets are designed by Instagram artist Ms Emily Luo, whom herself is a cat lover. The design features the big cat (i.e. tiger) dressed up in various costumes, out and about at the various museums around Singapore.
One would need to visit the different museums or complete some online quiz (for two of the museums), to get the respective red packet designs. With proper planning, lots of walking and travelling (I actually achieved the daily 10,000 steps target) as well as a little bit of luck, I have managed to complete the mission and have the 35 different red packet designs added to my collection.
The 35 museums, heritage institutions and galleries that participated in 2022, and the associated red packets are (in alphabetical order) – click on below picture for clearer and better resolution image :
