Wow, it sounds great. What did you like about it? The "Harry Potter exhibition" everything from original costumes to the list of "Dumbledores Army" although the exhibition is over

Lego display was worth a look, true artwork and Ancient Egyptian was also. Albeit that the officious staff would not allow me to enter the exhibition without watching the 3D film beforehand which resulted in me waitig for 20 minutes for it to start. These so called "rules" that the new residents of Singapore enforce spoils the experience of Singapore.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, melbkiwi. I am glad that you had the opportunity to visit The Art of the Brick and Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb. The 3D film at the start of Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb is an essential part of the exhibition and provides the background for a better understanding of the exhibition.... More

There was Mummy exhibition when I was there and I joined. The exhibition was fine. Then I go to upper level to the gallery. I wished I could see many things displayed. But I was overexpected. Nothing displayed on the 3rd floor except the building history thing.

We saw the first day of the new Mummy exhibition. Very interesting movie, and good story told through the exhibition. Kids quest a bit of a muddle. Instructions and space need to be clearer. Embalming lesson was good fun! Lego art exhibition was amazing - soooo cool! More focused on adults than kids... The building itself is really interesting, though... More

This is a great little museum. I saw the "lego" exhibition and was most impressed. Another gallery had some interactive screens which I'm sure are popular with children. All in all it was a good place to consider art, science and creativity.

Went there and they had the cheek to charge same admission fee even although half was closed to set up some private function.owned by marina sands so it explains a lot.Children wanted to see lego exhibition so submitted to being ripped off. Felt ripped off too.

Dear Ann S, thank you for sharing your feedback here. I can understand your frustration at not being to explore the Museum fully due to the temporary closure of our permanent exhibition galleries for a function. I hope that you will allow us to welcome you and your family back in the near future. More

Billed by CNN as one of the top ten exhibitions in the world, this had a lot to live up to! The displays are very impressive and it is amazing what you can create with a little plastic brick! Well worth a visit.

Very interesting building itself but really disappointing contents. Virtually nothing in it apart from the visiting display (lego art). 4 stories, only the top floor had anything in apart from floor for visiting exhibition. I tried 2 of the interactive exhibits, neither of them worked properly. Lego art was clever, granted, but not worth the price or trip over there.... More
