The 9th edition of the popular Museum Roundtable Lunar New Year Hongbao Campaign will return from 6 Jan to 3 Feb where families can go around the island to collect unique red packet designs from each of the 39 participating museums, heritage institutions and galleries!

4 New Participating Members

Of the 39 participating Museum Roundtable members, Children’s Museum Singapore is the newest member that joined in October 2022 and is participating in the Hongbao Campaign for the first time. In total, there are 4 new participating members compared to the previous edition. 

Collecting the Red Packets

During the campaign period, families can visit the participating members to collect the red packets. Each visitor is entitled to only one complimentary set of red packets per museum or gallery, while stocks last and each set will include 8 red packets. 

Collection of the red packets will not be tied to any admission fees, however each museum and gallery may have different criteria for collection of the red packet, eg, to fill in a survey or to like their social media pages. 

Limited Edition Collector's Album

The National Heritage Board (NHB) will be producing a limited edition collector’s album available for sale. First introduced in 2022, the collector's album was a big hit - selling out within hours of being launched. 

In view of the strong demand and positive feedback, NHB decided to bring back the collector’s album in a larger quantity this year – 450 albums will be sold as compared to 350 albums in 2022.

Each collector’s album will contain two full sets of 39 MR red packet designs for the Year of the Rabbit, and a special edition design for NHB that will only be available in the album. The NHB design has been included into the album this year, in celebration of NHB’s 30th anniversary.

The collector’s albums will be available for sale, while stocks last, at $88 nett per album. To purchase, you can either

• pre-register for a purchase slot on 14 or 15 January 2023
• walk-in purchase on 20 January 2023 (limited sets available)

Collection will be at the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall. Registration for purchase slots opens on 9 January 2023, 10am. Regardless of the method of purchase, members of the public are limited to the purchase of one album per NRIC number, on a first-come, first-served basis.
