WE found this one of the best museums we've been in Asia. It';s very well organized, with lots of information from almost all folks and cultures in Asia. The exhibition presents everything in an intelligent way and it didn't take forever to see the museum and also there's a lot of art pieces and not a lot of reading. Very... More

This museum along with the display of regular artifacts sometimes hosts temporary galleries of very unique and valuable items that are rarely shown to public. I happened to visit when precious ceramic items of Ming dynasty was displayed and it was worth the visit. The history of various Asian civilizations is well displayed. Must visit for all history buffs.

We only had a couple hours to see the exhibits, and that's not really doing it justice. There is lots to see, with informative notices throughout. The staff very helpful. I would say you need a good half day or day to really appreciate the museum.

The building itself is very beautiful, inside the rooms are set out into Various rooms depicting different cultural groups, it is informative,very well set out and information in English. Restaurant on verandah is fantastic.

From the earliest days, the museum shows the background to the modern city of Singapore, worthwhile seeing

Brilliant place to check out. talks a lot about all Asian civilizations. It explores all the Asian cultures and specifically of Singapore. They have 5 galleries. all talking about different things. they also have video panels placed from place to place to explain more. Its a must go place if you are a history buff.

Good collection of artefacts that reflect the cultural influences into Singapore, probably the best in SEAsia. Artefacts are conserved beautifully. Plenty of free guided tours that are informative! Located across the Singapore River from Boat Quay which teems with restaurants!
