Changi Murals

Five murals painted on the walls of Block 151 at Changi Camp depict scenes from the Bible, including the Nativity, Ascension, Crucifixion, and Last Supper.

British bombardier Stanley Warren created these murals between August and December 1942 while imprisoned as a POW during the Japanese occupation of Singapore.

The murals represent spiritual resilience through religious artworks, painted using improvised materials such as camouflage paint and chalk under harsh prison conditions.

Visitors can view replicas of the original murals at the Changi Chapel and Museum, as access to the military camp where originals remain is restricted.

Stanley Warren returned to Singapore three times between 1963 and 1988 to restore his wartime paintings, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
