23 Best Things to Do When You're in Singapore | Condé Nast Traveler

"SAM specializes in contemporary art from Singapore and Southeast Asia. When it opened in 1996 in a restored 19th-century Catholic boys school, it was the first art museum in the country. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in works by contemporary Asian artists. The collection covers multiple disciplines, including painting, photography, video, and sculpture." - Ashlea Halpern

An interesting Art Museum showing rare masterpieces of Claude Monet and other Impressionists. I expected less from this museum, but was impressed to see loaned masterpieces from European galleries, like d'Orsay. At time of our visit (March 2018) there was a special exhibition, showing masterpieces from Monet, Renoir, Juan Luna and others. The building itself is a spectacular, Neoclassical in style, but too large for the pieces of art i offers. An hour is enough to take at look at the most prominent pictures.

If you are living in Singapore then you should definitely visit this National Museum one day because this shows you the history of Singapore by various exhibitions, historic objects and many audio clippings. The Museum shows you the beginning of this land by portraits and clips too If you are an art lover you should not miss this place in Level 1 (history) cause you will love it. In Level 2 its a forest journey and you will enjoy if you're with your family or friends Your kids will love the 3D experience in Level2. A Basement Level is also opened now which is about Polaroid. If you are a science lover you will love it. Altogether it was a good experience.

Currently it is closed until around the end of 2018. There is another space being used nearby with a rotation of temporary exhibitions. When I visited it was set up for children and families but actually the art was suitable for people of all ages.

Was here to see After Utopia Exhibition, back then it was free, no admission fee. I love the building, the interior, and the artworks, it is all beautiful.

Most wonderful museum I've ever been to! The Singapore Biennale was taking place and regrouped artists from all over Asia. There were so many things to see and feel. The installations were amazing, challenging the way you thought. It was a bit easy to get lost here but I always found my way back.
