Hell's Museum

This was such an unexpectedly unique and genuinely interesting experience during our short stay in Singapore. The museum is engaging enough to explore independently, but we happened to join a guided tour with Michelle, whose humour, knowledge and thoughtful insights really elevated the visit. Beyond its focus on hell and the afterlife, the museum also offers compelling perspectives on how different cultures approach the very practical realities of death, which I personally found particularly fascinating. A great choice if you’re looking for a couple of hours doing something a little different and surprisingly thought-provoking.

The Hell's Museum, and accompanying 10 Courts of Hell was a great way to learn about religious views of the afterlife and see dioramas depicting the gruesome fates that would befall those that sinned. Our docent (guide), Andrew, was knowledgeable and passionate about the material, engaging with the full tour group.

There is a museum (with admission fee) and outdoor sculptures which are both entertaining and educational. The museum gives an overview about different religions and their views about death and afterlife. Then it introduces the concept of death in Chinese culture and the ten courts of hell. I learnt a lot about the rituals and the ideas behind them. The sculptures are fantastic and it often carry moral lessons and Chinese cultures the owner of this villa (Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par) wanted to share. Overall the site is a good place to visit, not to mention that it has lots of scenes for IG

I went here during halloween so it was included with the ticket but the actual place seemed underwhelming compared to the rest of the park which is free and has a wonderful set of statues. I recommend only going to the free park since the price for the museum for tourists seems too steep.

The 45 tour was conducted by Andrew. he was very helpful,witty and I benefitted and learnt a lot from this tour .It was very informative and insightful. Definitely will recommend to my friends

It was nice to have a quick look at this museum. It is very unique, Hell’s Museum, right? Who would have thought? Your trip to this museum would be incomplete without signing your name on the list for a FREE tour guide. Luckily, we signed up and Andrew was our guide throughout the museum. He gave us a lot of fun facts about the place and its history and did a great job explaining everything to us. You can ask him about anything, he’s very nice. From the video introduction to the interesting history, fun facts, and some laughter, he had it covered. Worth a quick visit when you’re in the area!

Haw Par Villa is my favorite place in Singapore, and I always bring my friends here when they come to visit! Hell's Museum has a great exhibition on the interpretations of death and the afterlife throughout human history, as well as its influence and role in Singaporean culture. The Ten Courts of Hell are unforgettable and absolutely iconic. Our tour guide Andrew was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate, as were all of the staff we met. Hell's Museum is truly a labor of love for all involved.

Had an afternoon to kill so I brought my kids to Hell 😈🔥Seriously though, Haw Par Villa is pretty awesome. Interesting displays and we enjoyed the museum tour - the 10 Courts of Hell was slightly on the gruesome side but I guess no worse than what your kid can stumble upon on YT or Tiktok.
