Excellent, especially the History of Singapore gallery. Displays on food, families, clothes etc and we could have spent all day in the History section alone. Audio guide, with commentary on almost every exhibit if you wanted it. Also excellent cafes (Pear/apple/mint juice blend was extremely refreshing). more

For just $10 you can learn a lot about Singapore's history and have a better understanding about the richness of Singaporean culture. The individual headsets allow you to choose the subjects you want to know deeply and save you some time in case you are not interested in a particular subject. more

I actually passed up the Asian Civilizations museum on my last day in the country to come back here for a second visit. The museum itself is roughly broken down into... more

The museum is very pretty and it's great to get out of the humidity outside. You could spend ages in the history of Singapore section. You go through it with a headset which tells you information. It is good in a way since you can look at displays while being told what they are, but also bad since there is... more

In the cool setting of the National Museum it is easy to while away half a day or more. First thing to note is the setting. An excellent example of a historical building interacting with a modern annex providing a glorious space to wander within. Remember - if you have a recent Singapore Airlines boarding pass you could be eligible... more

Located near Dhoby Ghaut railway station, the National Museum provides a fantastic insight into the past and present of Singapore, as well as a cool respite from the humid conditions. Interesting displays, interactive components and vivid images and artifacts tell the discovery, growth and development of this island nation. The gallerys before entering the main circular walkway are fun and... more
