An Unconventional Screening Experience
at the Museum
Transforming the traditional cinematic experience, MINT Lumens was created to offer unconventional screening experiences set within a vintage toy museum.
More than just a movie screening, MINT Lumens invites audiences into an immersive, community-driven experience where film, art, and play intersect. Each screening is thoughtfully designed to go beyond the screen, encouraging connection, conversation, and curiosity in a setting filled with nostalgia and wonder.
Every MINT Lumens session is paired with interactive elements that reflect the museum’s playful spirit. These include guided toy tours, hands-on interactive activities and games, and relaxed community moments over free-flow coffee, tea, and nostalgic local snacks such as gem biscuits and bun biscuits — familiar treats that spark childhood memories and shared joy!
Guided toy tours form a key part of the MINT Lumens experience, offering guests a closer look at toys inspired by the films being screened. These collections span 54 countries and three major eras from the Industrial Revolution (1760–1840), through the Vintage Era (1840s–1980s), to the Contemporary Era (1980s–present). Together, they reveal how storytelling, imagination, and design of toys evolve across time and cultures inspired by films.
At its core, MINT Lumens reimagine as a independent cinematic space for film discovery, toy nostalgia, and meaningful connection.

ABOUT MINT LUMENS
Transforming the traditional cinematic experience, MINT Lumens was created to offer unconventional screening experiences set within a vintage toy museum.
Screenings at the museum could feature a wide genre of films which could include nostalgic titles from as early as the 1910s, classics from the golden age of animation, superhero & character blockbusters and tales as old as time (pun intended!)
More than just a space to showcase vintage toys and childhood memorabilia from 54 over countries ranging in years between 1840s to 1980s, the MINT Museum of Toys aims to cultivate the museum-going culture in Singapore and appreciation of the museum’s toy collections through unique experiences that defies the norm and elevates the museum experience.
Cinematic Projector & Screening Space
By definition, ‘Lumens’ indicates the brightness or intensity of the light produced at one given time and the higher the lumens, the brighter the light output – an early inspiration to ‘MINT Lumens!
The museum transformed a part of its largest level – Level 3 Childhood Favourites into a screening space supported by a high-powered laser projector. A 250 inches widescreen display coated in Screen Goo (specially formulated paint for projector screening) was also specially custom-made to provide a cinematic quality visual projection.
A clear distribution audio system promises cinematic-quality audio effects enhanced by additional Invisa 650 speakers with folder ribbon tweeters to provide extreme wide dispersion of audio throughout the screening space.
In terms of seating, bid farewell to the constraints of traditional cinemas or the occasional ‘kicks’ on your seat and picture cosy corners filled with life-sized plush teddy bears, foldable chairs with armrests to lay back on, comfort cushions and blankets provided by the museum for free-seating arrangements.
