"The Moshe Safdie-designed ArtScience Museum resembles a blooming lotus in what was a reflection of Singapore’s coming of age in both the creative and technology sectors when it opened in 2011. The 10 “petals” serve as exhibition spaces for shows in which art and science, media and technology, and design and architecture intersect."

"You can’t miss this bright white lotus-shaped building designed by Israeli architect Moshe Safdie. Part of the Marina Bay Sands resort, it's one of the most iconic structures lining the heavily-touristed waterfront promenade. The ArtScience Museum is mainly known for its blockbuster touring exhibitions covering massively popular artists and designers (Van Gogh, Warhol, Dalí, Eames), themes (Genghis Khan, Titanic, Dinosaurs, Mummies), and contemporary phenomena like Harry Potter and Legos. The first big show of 2018 digs into 40 years of global street art." - Ashlea Halpern

It could be a must visit. Tho i wouldn't recommend buying tickets in advance. There are exhibitions on site and their tickets are available on-site. You might need to buy tickets for exhibitions upon arrival. The outside has a shallow pond with lilly. Its beautiful and calm. I would recommend seating on the pond side and admire the Lilly and the tiny little fish. The exhibitions were detailed and worth the price, i liked the one with lights. They have a cafeteria and toilets.

A beautiful architecture design. The building is very inspiring from the outside as well the inside. It has an unbalanced design on the top side, What makes you go around to see all angles. The ground floor area is circled with water pools with flowers that bloom in different colours, beautiful just to sit by and enjoy. That area is also shaded, so it is nice to be there even during a sunny day.

Great place to check out especially on a rainy day. We visited the Mirror Mirror Journey Into the Mind exhibition here. You explore different areas behind different coloured doors. Each area is different and offers a different feel. The kids enjoyed it, especially the interactive aspect. However, you need to watch your kids as they can easily get lost in the crowd

An unorthodox museum created with an idea to teach latest technologies to the children as immersive learning. Interactive Augmented Reality based screen and projection was seen in different themes across rooms. The draw your own character which can be seen on the big screen with animations is a master stroke attraction. It’s a very good attempt to inspire kids learn new technologies. I do suggest adults to understand the technologies behind the games and elaborate the same to the accompanying kids of age around 10 to seed the flame of technology.

During our stay we visited two exhibitions. The fashion one (which I found extremely beautiful and creative) and the future world (called art meets science, but a bit misleading if you ask me - there were only projections of flowers and diverse drawings). The name ArtScience is not really correct because is definitely art, and very low science. We can say is art inspired by science. The future world I would recommend for children. At one point they can color diverse ocean animals and they are projected on the walls after. The fashion exhibit - dresses by Iris van Herpen - was really interesting to see. It shows the unlimited imagination of the artist and how nature and science can inspire some wonderful creations. Overall I liked this museum. Entrance tickets are a bit expensive (23$ and 27$ per exhibit).

The ArtScience Museum in Singapore is a must visit! The exhibits are creative, interactive, and beautifully curated and perfect for all ages. I loved how it blends art, science, and technology in such an inspiring space. The building itself is also stunning! A memorable experience overall.

I visited the Iris Van Herpen collection, which is incredibly beautiful and creative. You should register for the free Sands membership, which gives a 30% discount on the ticket price. We strongly advise purchasing tickets online in advance to ensure crowd control.

Came here many times but strangely this fell into a category of places I have failed to review. My bad :( My latest visit was for the Studio Ghibli's exhibit. I definitely recommend booking the tickets online so as to skip the lines. Staffs were friendly and helpful. This Studio Ghibli's exhibits spanned two floors. I really enjoyed myself here. ArtScience museum hosted high quality exhibits which I highly recommend any one to visit.

ArtScience Museum is an iconic cultural landmark in Singapore. Tickets can be pre-booked online or can be purchased at the counter. The exhibition is colourful, interesting and an immersive experience. All age group people will enjoy in this museum. If you're in Singapore then, I would recommend to visit this museum at-least once.

This review is basically for teamLab Future World. Great exhibit for all ages! Adults will love the visuals and ambiance, while kids will love the interaction with art. There's a spot where you can color different fish and then scan them to have them swim across the museum walls. In another, you color an airplane or butterfly and then fly it around the museum walls. The final room is the famous planets crystal room (see my photos) where it looks like you're in an infinite void of sparkles. You can get tickets for 30% off if you make a free Sands account. It took me a few minutes to setup and save TONS of money. Visit early to beat the crowds. The entrance is on the lower level near the ticket booth.

Flaunting audio/visual technology to dazzle seems to be a trend in recent years - museums, pop-up shows, casinos, even shopping malls, many are doing it.... The end result, if you've been to a few, is they end up feeling very much the same. And that, unfortunately, is how I felt at the ArtScience Museum. That said, it is a new experience for those who haven't seen too many of this kind. It can be a fun experience for children. And most of the shows are beautiful.... But at the end of the show you know it's just some computer programs (however complex coding behind the scenes), projectors, lights, and mirrors in the room that deliver the A/V effects. Tickets for a 30-45 minute show is about $25-30 Singapore dollars. General admission is about $40 but lets you into all shows. The surrounding area and the building are nice - and those you can enjoy for free. I guess if you are tourists looking for things to do or parents needing to entertain your children this may be a good choice. But if you are a serious museum goer and look for something substantial beyond what meets the eyes, you might feel a bit empty after the razzle dazzle.

So I accidentally bought tickets to New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed and not to Future World which was a separate gallery inside ArtScience. This one is not kid friendly so you can imagine my confusion trying to understand the reviews against what I was seeing... Initially I admittedly felt like I wasted money. To say that this museum is a little.....different would be an understatement. I mean there's a complimentary film for 10 people every half hour or so and at the end of the film only two people remained, including myself haha. As you move through the exhibits at New Eden, you have to give yourself time to make sense of the exhibit to you. I felt like it certainly made interesting commentary on how we try to curate everything for ourselves, how we are obsessed with perception, and how we choose to hide the uncomfortable behind vices. There was also a direct call out on portrayal of Asians in media which, YES, needs to continually be called out. The exhibit celebrates works of 24 Asian women whose core theme lies within the spectrum (and it's a wide one) of science fiction. I can certainly say that I grew to appreciate it by the end. Edit: I came back a few days later for FutureWorld because I was in the vicinity and I agree it was very cool! It's small and if you've been to TeamLabs Tokyo, you'll find it similar.

I do not recommend going here if you are traveling with a baby or toddler as none of the exhibits allow your stroller. In addition, the staff is rude and very unhelpful or accommodating. They rush to get you out of line and use the kiosks to buy tickets for exhibits you're not even informed on the policies and procedures to access. I was rushed into buying a ticket for an exhibit I was then told I was unable to attend unless I wanted to leave my 1.5 year old son alone in a corner??? When I asked for a refund because no one explained this to me I was told that they had to charge me again for all the exhibits in order to refund me one ticket a month later. Didn't make any sense. Moreover, the exhibits are short and lackluster at most nothing like what I expected. The only one worth wild would be the future world. Save your time and money and don't put this on your itinerary.

I would recommend to reserve tickets online to avoid waiting in line for the tickets at the box office. It is a nice art museum. It is a small museum though. Stunning visual arts and lights. There are few exhibits to check out. Give yourself at least an hour so you can take your time to check out everything. It will definitely take longer than an hour if you want some great Instagram photos! Immerse yourself and you will have an amazing time :)

I'm not a big fan of museums, except ones like this that are super interactive and deal with more fun lighting and technology type elements than anything else.... So this was definitely on my list! I went to the main part (Future World) and the VR Gallery, which were seperate tickets but in the same building. I did the VR Gallery first because I had to reserve a specific time slot. I had never really done anything VR before so it was an interesting experience. It was basically like an interactive short story, is the best I can explain it. Honestly it wasn't as interactive as I was hoping (we stayed seated in chairs and just helped move the story along with a few motions), but it was still cool. The Future World part was great! They had so many different rooms and things to interact with, I stayed there for quite a long time, and I probably would have stayed even longer except it was closing time! A few of my favorites were standing under the fake rain wall, making pictures that I drew appear on the wall, and climbing these one things... I don't even know. Toward the end there's also the tunnel of pretty lights which is fun and makes for good pictures! I'm pretty sure this company has locations in some other places, and I'd consider doing another exhibit by the same group, depending on the price.

Fun little museum. Kid friendly. A lot of interactive exhibits. Well maintained. They manage crowds so exhibits not overwhelmed. Price is reasonable. Can kill an hour or two pretty easily. Not a bad stop for kids in area.

The exterior of this museum is stunning, located adjacent to the Marina Bay Shops. The mid-afternoon rain started coming in so we quickly went past the lily ponds inside. We decided to escape the rain to go in and see the exhibit. This rash decision was our bad as I didn't realize this exhibit was a smaller, identical version of TeamLab in Tokyo (which we had already been to). I thought there would be a different room, other elements, but it was the same. If you're going to Tokyo, save your dollars for that one as it is more expansive. Kid-friendly with all the drawing aspects and the additional addition of the Temlab within the mall by the food court is another drawing piece (not worth IMO). When I saw the 'ArtScience' name, I was expecting more so I was disappointed with the exhibit. If you haven't done Teamlab and don't plan to go to the one in Japan, then make a visit, otherwise just admire the architectural beauty on the outside.

I went to the Future World and Mental exhibition when I was there and I enjoyed it a lot! Both of the exhibitions were kinda small but I had a lot of fun there! Future World is their permanent exhibition and if you have kids, make sure you bring them there! They had a lot of interactive activities and for one of them, you can draw your own sea creatures, scan them, and see them come to live on the screen! Mental was their special exhibition at the time and I really liked the idea of it. It was an exhibition that brought awareness to mental health and just like future world, the whole exhibition was very interactive. Highly recommend this museum! Definitely recommend checking out multiple exhibitions if you have time!

You can buy one exhibit, two or all! I wouldn't mind getting all. Right next to helix bridge, and always someone there to answer questions. Cute science art quotes on the walls, and a spectacular place for both kids and adults. Future world meets science exhibit, it's small, visually pleasing and the room at the end where you enter "space" the lights are amaaazing. The security guy can control the lights but can only tell you when super nova is coming. Stick around for that! Downstairs upon entering you walk into the fab cafe, they have 3D printing available and cute little earrings too! Popcorn flavors like calamari, sour cream and onion and also prosciutto (snacks available) Remember that around holidays it can get really busy!

One of my favorite spots in Singapore! Located near the Marina Bay, this place definitely fits the futuristic and polished vibe in all aspects. The ArtScience Museum houses various displays that will surely amaze you. Ticketing allows you to choose a single exhibit or combinations of any of what you're interested in, making it your money's worth. And tickets aren't too bad to begin with. If you're a student, be sure to get the discounted prices! We decided to see Future World and Floating Utopias and were wowed. Future World: various rooms with interactive light and digital art/displays. It's perfect for photos due to rooms that contain very aesthetically pleasing sets. There's also rooms that allow for your imagination to come to life by allowing your doodles to become digital renderings that move around in a virtual city. The light displays are magical and let you use your smart device to control them. Floating Utopias is more informative but still has some photo ops. There's a room with giant inflatable rabbits, a moon, and much more. This one was more lowkey and it balances out everything else. Overall, highly recommend this place. It's beautiful and gives you a sense of how futuristic Singapore truly is. Plus, you'll get some cool photos from your visit here!

Located in the "Iconic lotus" shaped building at Marina Bay Sands, the Future World Exhibit is a must see! The collection of interactive artworks are aesthetically pleasing. From the moment you enter, you'll be immersed in the world of visual arts and interactive structures. With over a dozen themed rooms, here are some of my favorites: Sketch Town allows visitors to color a preset drawing, personalize it, scan and watch your masterpiece come to life on the screen. I did a quick coloring of a truck, personalized it with my name on the side and watched in awe as it's displayed across the screen. Media Block Chair consists of vibrant glowing blocks that changes into countless variation of colors when attached together. Designed for visitors to create fun structures from stacking and arranging the blocks into whatever your imagination pleases. Crystal Universe is not only extraordinary but, breathtaking as well. It features captivating animated lights that changes colors at an instant. The occasional Supernova gives you the illusion of being in a celestial environment surrounded by shimmering stars. If you're press for time or are only interested in doing just one exhibit, I highly recommend Future World. It's $19 SGD per adult and $14 SGD for children 2-12. Whether you're seeking an educational or fun adventure or looking for a distraction, this "modern marvel" will provide hours of fascination for visitors of all ages.

This museum was truly one of the neatest museum I have ever been too! Singapore knows how to make the mark. This museum has a cool exhibits. The future exhibit was truly creative and Neat. It was truly artistic but had great factual accents to it. The nature and human body exhibit was mind blowing. We got to see the most futuristic robot which was so incredible and was able to carry a conversation with you. The museum is located by the marina bay sands and a place where you and honestly spend hours at. It's a great place to have a family adventure where you can bond, learn and spend time at. The exhibits are really great for all those who are photographers out there. You will be able to really capture the beauty of this place. If your ever in Singapore, check this place out. It will be one of the highlights of your trip!

The Exploratorium in San Francisco is one of my favorite places on the entire world, and has been since I was a tiny kid; now, the ArtScience Museum gives it a run for its money. An interactive museum, we spent way more time here than a 24-year-old and a 30-year-old probably should've. The FutureWorld exhibit is so much fun, boasting about a dozen different installations. Admission is fairly standard with other museums, at 19 SGD for adults. My personal favorite was the Crystal Universe, an expanse of fairy lights dangling from the ceiling that lit up to music--think along the lines of Yayoi Kusama's works. There were a handful of cute little installations of forests, cityscapes, and oceans; they allowed for kids (and shameless adults) to color in animals and cars to scan into the scene. Such a cute idea! It was pretty crowded when we were there, with tons of people running about on a Monday afternoon. I think we would've enjoyed it more had there been about 75% of the people there. We unfortunately were visiting during the few days in between other exhibits; we missed the street art exhibit and were too early for the Marvel :( There wasn't much information about the exhibition dates online, so that was a real bummer. We did participate in the Into the Wild interactive activity, but got bored pretty quickly and gave up. We also took a quick browse through the gift shop, where there were some fun little things but didn't have too much of a selection. FutureWorld is definitely worth checking out if you've got an hour or so to kill in Singapore. Would highly recommend, especially if you're already around the Marina Bay Sands and want a reprieve from the muggy heat!

We came here just for the Futureworld exhibit - which is reason enough to come here as it's pretty spectacular! We really enjoyed every portion of it from the sea rising room to the crystal experience. I also really liked the layout of the exhibit - had a great flow from exhibit to exhibit and was easy to follow. Only downside is the ball room was just overrun with kids. I know it's a museum and caters to all ages but made it a tad bit hard to enjoy when kids are throwing balls all over, etc. It reminded me a bit of the ball pit at chuck e cheese. If I were them I would allocate a small section of the ball room for adults only or those adults without kids, as it'd be nice to enjoy it without having a ball hit you in the head. ;) My fav part was the crystal portion -which is truly mesmerizing. Also, the kids here were very well behaved prolly cuz they were mesmerized too. ;)

Good place to take your kids out for an afternoon especially if they have those kid friendly exhibits running at the time. My friend and I bought all three exhibits and it was nice seeing how educational they are. Some of the kids oriented ones are very interactive. The one we saw had the interactive drawings where you could see your car or house come to life on the big screen on the wall. If you sign up for a membership (it was free if I remember correctly), you can get a BOGO deal essentially on tickets (one for you and one for a friend) which helps a lot in reducing the costs!

Best museum I've ever been to! The futureworld exhibit (which seems to have a permanent home here) is the most wonderful playground for imagination for both kids and adults. From the moment you enter you'll forget about outside world and be immersed in interacting with the environment. There are several rooms that you'll visit in order, each with unique features- from lounging on the beanie bag in a room surrounded by ocean waves to drawing and scanning images that will appear and float around on the walls. Last part is a play with LED lights that mystical and sci-fi at the same time. On 3rd floor they have different exhibits and I'm so happy to have made one on street art that outlines graffiti evolution and includes original art by some of the local artists. Overall: I've been to this museum twice already and I can't imagine visiting SG without going again. I can't give it enough stars!

Review only for "FUTURE WORLD: Where Art Meets Science" exhibit: I learned about the ArtScience Museum from viewing an Instagram story from travel Instagrammer that I follow (Jack Morris @doyoutravel). He posted a few IG stories of the Future World exhibit. I thought that it looked pretty cool and I wanted to check this out while in Singapore. Admission for this exhibit was 19 SGD for adults and 14 SGD for Seniors (i.e. for my Dad). We came on our last day in Singapore during the morning and spend 1.5 - 2 hours here. There's 15 sections to view. It's a fun and interactive exhibit that the kids will definitely enjoy. As a grown adult woman, I enjoyed it myself and my dad liked the exhibit too. My favorite sections of this exhibit: #2 Black Waves: You'll be in a dark room and there's animated ocean waves in the background. There were some bean bags that you can sit on and relax while watching the animation. #5 Connecting! Block Town: The projection screen will show the animation when you move various block pieces on the table. #8 Sketch Town: You can draw and color cars, trucks, airplanes, or buildings on a piece of paper. You scan your completed image into a scanner. Then, you'll watch your drawing come to life on the huge animated projection screen. #10 Universe of Water Particles: The animation of the waterfall was quite nice. #11 Sketch Town Aquarium. Similar to sketch town. But, you can draw and color a bunch of different sea creatures. #12 Light Ball Orchestra: I saw that the kids had a lot of fun in this area. It's a bunch of bouncy balls that changes color. #15 Crystal Universe: It was the last room and it was AMAZING! I never experienced anything like it. There's a pathway where you walk thru a bunch of animated lights. (Note: It maybe difficult to take a really cool photo here since the lights flicker/changes very fast.) Overall, I had a fun time. I can't wait to comeback again one day to check out other cool exhibits.

While I was there, the exhibits present were The Deep and DreamWorks Animation. Both were fantastic though I enjoyed the DreamWorks one more. We bought the all-access ticket which was $30 for the two main exhibits and the Singapore Eye contemporary art exhibit, a smaller gallery on the third floor. This ticket is the way to go if you are not in a rush! It's truly a great deal! In fact, if you want to do JUST the main two exhibits without the contemporary art one, it's more expensive. More for less! Unlike the natural history museum tickets, these tickets can be bought onsite. The Deep was all about deep sea underwater creatures like the different types of angler fish and the goblin shark. While the topic is very mysterious and cool, I don't believe there is enough information about the deep sea to have a thorough, interactive exhibition on it. This was the first exhibit we went to and it was sort of a let down. While I did learn a lot from reading every single caption and plaque, it could have been a lot more exciting. The nice thing about the museum is that re-entry is allowed between exhibits. We went to get lunch at Marina Bay Shoppes (literally right next door) and came back for DreamWorks. It was amazing! I am still in shock as to how much work is put into a single film. You have to see it to believe it. This exhibition was nice because it had videos of the producers and artistic directors from each film explaining highlights of the process so you get an in-depth look at their work. The exhibit does a great job of emphasizing the length and detail of producing an animated film. You never even pay attention to the artwork characteristic of a certain film or the orchestral moods in the background, but SO much creativity and talent and work goes into such things to create a memorable, immersive world. (As you can tell, I was tremendously impressed.) The ticketing lady told us that each exhibit would take 40 minutes and the art gallery 15. Well, we spent an hour and a half in The Deep, two hours in DreamWorks, and an hour in the contemporary art gallery. Plus thirty minutes for lunch. Sooo yeah. Very, very, very impressed. You might go when there are different exhibits, but I think all of them are worth seeing. Enjoy!!

Really fun and interactive museum right by Marina Bay. Student ticket is $20 and worth it. We had tried going multiple times but they had been closed for a few days due to extra COVID-19 cleaning. Finally got the chance to go and enjoyed it despite certain parts being closed off. Favorite exhibits were teamlab and Disney! As a person who isn't a museum person, I thought it was a cool experience and would recommend it as a fun activity especially for a rainy day.

Not only is this museum a jewel of architecture from the outside, it hosts some of the best arts /cultural exhibitions in Singapore. Small but fine, is the motto, and thanks to its good location the visit can be combined with a walk in the Gardens by the Bay or dinner and shopping at the mall of Marina Bay. Recently, we visited the current curated collection of the works of M.C. Escher, "Journey to infinity", which is worth seeing - if only for his mind-blowing pieces on tessellation. Good to know: * tickets are available in the basement, ground floor just hosts a café and information * show your Singapore ID card for concession price

This is a really nice museum; I highly recommend it! I bought a ticket on Klook and went to the Disney Magic of Animation exhibit that is open until the end of March. I was also hoping to go to the Future World exhibit but because it was during a peak vacation period, I didn't make it there in time. Luckily, that exhibit is permanent so I'll come back another time to see it, hopefully. The Magic of Animation exhibit is really nice if you are an animation fan. I used to work at Pixar, so this was right up my alley. They have original storyboards and art from the production of most of the majorly popular Disney movies, from Steamboat Willie to Frozen II. Finally, I want to mention that the lines were incredibly long as this was around New Year's Day. I recommend reserving at least a half-day or more to see two exhibits since I was being rushed out of the Magic of Animation exhibit since they were closing the museum for the evening.

I think your experience here greatly depends on what exhibits are available. We paid extra for two special exhibits (Marvel 10 year anniversary and Wind Walker) along with the regular museum. I really enjoyed the exhibits and felt the rest of the museum could have been a miss. Maybe it's more appealing to families with small kids. When we went in August, the Future World wasn't open.

Great views of the flyer, helix bridge and the lotus garden around the museum. We got buy one get one free admission to the two exhibits there (with the Marina Bay Sands loyalty card $32 for two people) and we had a lot of fun. We could've spent easily 3-4 hours there and there was a lot to do, read and explore. Very kid friendly. They do a good job here with a good amount of variety and photo opportunities. I'd definitely come back and see different exhibits!

Came here and had 3 options for exhibitions. Went to Minimalism and it was right up my alley. Loved the Future World exhibition as well.

Alice in Wonderland is on exhibit right now. It is an interactive exhibit that has you reading and searching for clues. If you love Alice then be sure to go. The exhibits change so check to see what's in before you head out. I also enjoyed future world but this was definitely geared more for children

Really pricey for such short exhibitions. The marvel universe experience was lame and for $16 was a total waste of money. I am glad I came to it while in Singapore but it's only a tourist trap. The building itself is gorgeous and it's worth the trip just to say "I've been there".

The architecture of the lotus shape building is Art and Engineering exhibit by itself. Free admission to the exhibit The Nobel Prize: Ideas Changing the World. The first section was about Alfred Nobel and how he started the Nobel Prize awards to honor inventor whose work improved our world. The last section shines light (figurative and literal) on the individual innovations that links to our everyday items. I found this museum very welcoming, informative, and classy. A nice representation of Singapore at its best.

This museum stands out compared to the others I've been to! This lotus shape building is definitely an attention seeker so I went here while visiting the Marina Bay Sands! I visited on November 2015, which they hosted two exhibits: "Hermes: Leather Forever" & "The Nobel Prize: Ideas Changing The World". Tickets were complimentary. The Hermes exhibit was very eye catching but it was a very quick one for me since I'm not really into it. Nonetheless it was somewhat interesting to see all the leather and colors incorporated for this product! On the other hand, I really liked the Nobel Prize exhibit! There were lots of inspiring information from beginning to end! It also highlights very influential individuals from around the world! From what I heard they worked really hard on bringing this exhibit to Singapore, so it was nice to see it myself! Some of the displays were interactive as well which I liked! Must visit if you have time to spare!

The problem with some museums is that they can be a little hit or miss depending on what exhibition they happen to be showing at the time. This was the case with this place because they had three exhibitions, and only one that I was interested in (and fortunately that was free) - the Straight Times History of Singapore. I guess it had more to do with me wanting to see culturally significant exhibitions that something (such as the Dreamworks exhibition) that seem to be travelling around the world. However, it wasn't bad, and it was really interesting learning about Singapore through its major newspaper. The building is really oddly shaped (as one can expect from such a place) though you really need to time yourself to see anything of interest.

Rude ticket seller. Her name Jacquline please give her a proper training. Very disappointed to see this kinda talking back at the beginning of the trip at Art Museum. Other than that it was great for kids.

Check out The Deep exhibition. Very interesting with the types of fishes that can be found there. Not cheap for ticket price. Went when it was free during the sg50 jubilee weekend. Crowded but the crowd moved fast.

Marina Bay Sands: You either love it or hate it. I'm more in the latter camp. Although the ArtScience Museum is brought to us by the same architect who built MBS, I will admit that I really like this structure. How can you not be inspired by an awesome lotus shaped building?! I wasn't sure what to expect from a museum that fused art and science together. But once I watched the well-put together introduction piece that they present on the top floor, I immediately saw how art and science are related. It was pretty mind blowing to see how the creations of artists and scientists before us were innovative for their time, and why you can't have science without art and vice versa. I decided to check out all of the exhibits, but I was only a fan of The Art of the Brick, which showcased artist Nathan Sawaya's sculptures, all made of Lego bricks. Some of the biggest sculptures were built with over 80,000 Lego bricks, so it's definitely a sight to see! Since I only liked one of the three current exhibits, I maintain a 4 star Yelp rating overall. Hopefully there will be more future exhibits that'll interest me so I'll have a reason to visit this beautiful building again.

Art or Science? When you could hardly make any decision, this place could be great for both. We came here for the exhibition "The Universe and the Art". My boyfriend likes art, I like science, especially space science, so it was perfect. Beautiful exhibitions, great service and great location, right on that flower-shaped building by the bay, you couldn't really miss it. A must see if you're a fan of art, or science or both!

I've lived in Singapore for over four years, visited many times before and had never made it to this Museum, didn't even know what it was for the longest time. I think calling it a Museum is a bit inaccurate, unless I missed something, it is more of a gallery for visiting exhibitions. We went for the Dreamworks Animation exhibit and also got tickets to see The Deep, and the Singapore Eye contemporary art exhibit. There didn't appear to be any permanent museum exhibits that I saw, just two galleries downstairs and one upstairs in "The Lotus Flower." So writing a review based on the travelling exhibits doesn't seem fair as they are just visitors. So the actual facility is what to review. I was pleased with the facility, the pricing was very reasonable, the facilities were well maintained, clean and didn't get in the way or hinder the actual exhibitions. An unexpected highlight were the upstairs gallery rooms that gave my daughter and her friend a chance to have fun with echos, probably not as enjoyable for any others. Again, perhaps I missed something, but as an exhibition gallery it was A-OK.

Free entry for up to 4 kids on Fridays with purchase of minimum 1 adult ticket. GREAT deal! We ( 2 adults and kids aged 6 and 9 ) thoroughly enjoyed Future World and Van Cleef& Arpel show. The gift shop is fun to browse, coloring area for kids and sofa outside restrooms. There are benches surrounding a pond on the LG foor, good for waiting and some of them near wall power outlets - we charged our phones. Exhibitions aside :Excellent architecture and surrounding landscape offers beautiful views of the Bay. There's a mall next door where you can grab a bite. Gardens by the Bay within comfortable walking distance at a casual pace.

All about the exhibits that are there. If your not interested in the exhibit, you won't enjoy it. Simple. I was highly satisfied in the few exhibits I saw here: Harry Potter, Andy Warhol, and Lego exhibit. All three exhibits were fantastic. Discount: if I remember correctly you can show your passport or student ID for discount.

In my time in Singapore, I basked in the beauty of the structure and visited an exhibition. The building itself is so recognizable on the bay. I kept describing it as a lotus flower (but others didn't see it!). For visitors you mustn't leave until you've snapped a photo. As you approach you can sense the grand scale. I highly recommend visiting the National Geographic 50 Best Photographs exhibition. For photography lovers, this is a must. Each one of the photos are a cause for multiple minutes of reflection. Some are recognizable, but others are wonderful stories that are lesser known. The mini rooms detailing photography techniques/composition/lighting/etc were a great addition as well. All in all, the museum is a staple of Singapore.

What kind of museum gives you so much free stuff?! On each admission ticket, there;s a voucher for one free drink (Fanta or Vitamin Water). This means if you go to the Free Hermes exhibition and the Deep Sea exhibition you get TWO drinks (omg so heavy to carry haha) Art Science is located right next to Marina Bay Sands. Take the Bayfront MRT and just follow the signs. The exhibitions rotate out every so and so. Right now they currently have the Deep Sea (Exhibition on preserved animals from the deep sea), Hermes (Exhibition on leather goods and purses) and Living YangTze (Water sustainability). Hermes Leather Forever: It's FREE and on the 3rd floor. Okay this exhibition was incredible. It showed the whole history of Hermes, the process of creating the bags and some quirky pieces. Incredibly fun, interactive and innovative. There's an exhibit where you can ride a fake horse and compete against a friend. This is an exhibit you can't miss. Living YangTze - Sponsored by Swavorski shows a photographers journey throughout the Yangtze river in china and his photos / video documentary. You get a gift bag that contains a poster (of the river I believe) and a magazine at the end. I definitely had a fun time exploring here - at least check out the free exhibition if you have time!

Wow!..Just wow! This was the most interactive museum space I have ever seen. I wish I would have taken my son. You could literally spend hours in this place and still not experience it all. It is on the Marina Bay Sands campus so its really close. Favorite parts: Wave and waterfall rooms Crystal light tunnel Aquarium room The aquarium was probably the most interesting room to me. You make a drawing of a sea creature and insert it into a machine which scans the image and animates it onto a screen that looks like an aquarium. As you get close to the animated drawing it swims away from you. It blew my mind and I'm sure this description does not do it justice. There was also a graffiti art show here with the original Sheppard Fairy Obama screen print as well as his Obey posters and a plethora of other artists. there was even a wall you could tag on or put stickers on. I was not expecting this type of experience walking in the door. I'd definitely recommend this. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

The ArtScience Museum brought in several notable exhibitions over the past year.. from the surreal works of Salvador Dali, Vincent Van Gogh interactive art pieces, Shipwrecked treasure, Titanic Exhibition to Andy Warhol and the Harry Potter Exhibition now. One thing I like the most are their art exhibitions which are always very well displayed and very well presented. They also hold really interesting interactive displays such as Andy Warhol's 'factory' or the 'feel' of an iceberg. The tickets are slightly cheaper for Singapore citizens and it's most definitely worth an afternoon spent in the art science museum.

One of Singapore's newest museums, ArtScience claims to blend art and science or something like that, and it does have interesting exhibitions. I've explored artefacts from Titanic, examined masterpieces by Dali, and saw magic in van Gogh's paintings. It's all brilliant stuff, and I can't wait to see what else the musuem brings. The museum has an interesting architecture which resembles an unfolding lotus, or a palm. It reflects the sun brightly on a hot day, and looks dazzling. You can't explore much of the interior without buying a ticket, so do consider visiting at least one of the exhibition especially if you won't be in town for long. Do check out the museum shop for some interesting stuff on sale.

Right, when anything and everything that is related to Marina Bay Sands, you really don't expect things to come cheap, same goes with ArtScience Museum. 'atas' is perhaps the best description for ArtScience Museum. With history of bringing in popular exhibitions like the Titanic, Andy Warhol and yes, wizard boy Harry Potter, no wonder it suddenly becomes 'museum is cool' branding to the locals here. Yes, take that as a good change happening in Singapore. The exhibitions definitely drove quite a lot of tourist dollars too. Anyway, I've been there a few times and yes, I love the place. With blasting aircon and walking in a quiet environment, I get to appreciate and learn about the exhibition better. Thank god I've not walked with student groups during my time there for it will spoil my mood. Oh yes, a great place for photography enthusiasts too.

Came for the Crystal Universe exhibit. Everything that I saw was wonderful. Staff are very nice. $17 entry for non-resident/student/etc which is okay. Must see while this exhibit is here.
