I visited the museum on a rainy Saturday. It was quiet and relaxing because of a few visitors. The staff was friendly, and the entrance fee was SGD 8. It is cheaper if you purchase TripAdvisor's ticket, but my payment could not go through TripAdvisor's app. There were paid lockers (two different sizes) for locking your things (25 and 50 cents). The collection from the wreck ship in the Tang dynasty is interesting. Some cute broken cups and containers. Most of the collection here is relatively "new" (recent 100 years) and reflects the lives of common people, instead of the fine arts of collections from palaces or royal families. The collection of S. Asian culture is interesting to me. I spent about 2.5 hours at the museum. It was a lovely rainy Saturday at the museum.

We spent 5 hours in the Museum and this was still not enough. I particularly enjoyed the Shipwreck section on the Ground Floor. We also went on both the Batik Kita Tour (which is the current Special Exhibition) and the General Tour which was back to back. The Batik Kita tour took about 50mins that I did not have much time to casually go through the exhibition before having to join the General Tour. We did find the SGD 25 on the high side as quite often Museums are free to visit worldwide.

Whenever I am going to Singapore I always check to see if there are any new exhibitions at this museum. I have seen several very interesting and varied exhibitions over the last year. I am never disappointed when visiting here. The Asian anthropological exhibits and the Tang Shipwreck are also very interesting. I can spend hours here looking and the wide range of artefacts available. It is definitely worth visiting and is a very short walk from Raffles MRT Station. I have also had lunch here several times as well. This has also been a very enjoyable experience and a nice way to finish off seeing the exhibitions.
