The Keris Collector
This video invites you into a world where culture, craft, and spirit meet in steel.
It explores what truly makes a keris, not just by form or function, but by soul and story.
From island to island, the keris left its mark, crossing kingdoms, belief systems, and generations.
To trace its path is to follow the echoes of an ancient civilisation that still breathes through every blade.
Here is a memorable video produced by the National Heritage Board in collaboration with the National Museum of Singapore back in 2018. It was later featured in DigiMuse Presents, an exhibition held at the National Museum from 4 to 26 August 2018.
DigiMuse Presents was a bold experiment that blended heritage and emerging technology. Through virtual and augmented reality, interactive storytelling, and artificial intelligence, it invited visitors to rediscover Singapore’s past in unexpected ways.
This particular video was part of that initiative—a glimpse into how our traditions, like the world of the keris, could be reimagined through digital innovation. It reminds us that even the most ancient of crafts can find new life in the modern age, if only we look at them
