Yes. The entrance fee for a no resident is 18 SGD. you will get a ticket for all the rooms and exhibitions. One and a half hour will be enough to see the whole area. The restaurant there is pretty nice! Enjoy your time there.

To enter the exhibits you have to pay an entry fee, which covers all special features that are on at the time you are there. Otherwise you are confined to only two small permanent exhibits. Staff monitor those closely without an entry ticket to the exhibits!!! If there are no interesting exhibits on it is worth a look just at the building itself!!

There were some exhibits that were free and others that had a fee. Unfortunately most of the sections were closed but a lovely building.

There are two areas, the first one is free and you can access a very limited exhibition area plus restaurant and gift shop.

Yo do need to pay in order to visit the special exhibition area where the history of Singapore is showcased.

Yeah parts of the entrance are free, but there are sections that have a small fee to view. Well worth it in my opinion. Fantastic museum.

Entry is free, but if you want to view the exhibition on the ground floor, you have to pay.
