Best National museum in Singapore

H	H R on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The National Museum of Singapore is located in a beautiful building. Located on Stamford Road, the Museum is a great way to start one s time in Singapore. Various exhibitions showcase how Singapore came to be the modern city that it is today. From the British occupation, to the brief Japanese take over in the 1940s and onwards to the failed union with Malaysia. The Museum takes one across the important timeline of Singapore as a nation. Free admission for all Singapore Nationals and Residents, the museum charges $26 for travellers. There is a nice cafe and clean toilets on the premises as well. There are temporary exhibitions that keep changing often. Keep a lookout about what interests you.

I	Irwin Mier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The national museum is in this lovely colonial era structure and does a great job at detailing the history of Singapore. You can tell the curators really cared about capturing Singapore’s surprisingly long history as historical records show Singapore was an important trading center before 1819. The history since 1819 was also quite interesting as well and documents how the nation was a colony under British rule, Japanese occupation, and it’s short lived union with Malaysia post independence. It also shows the average life of a Singaporean over the last century. For students, it’s very affordable.
K	Kath Alfonso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went here to be enlightened how this little nation turned out to be one of the most successful country in a short span of time, was not disappointed. The interior is amazing as well. It is also connected to Fort Canning which will give you more insights of their history. Just a bit sad that the Glass Rotunda was undergoing renovation when I came here. Nonetheless, an amazing experience.
M	Muhammad Syahrul on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great time. Beautiful Victorian architecture. Warm welcome as we entered, which is not always the case in other museums and galleries. Educational and interactive. Our kids went back with so many information on Singapore history.
M	Mariana Santos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We saw the two permanent exhibition galleries and can only say that this is a really great museum. Very didactic. You really do learn about Singapore’s history and all the trials and tribulations the country has gone through (having become one of the best countries in the world). The staff is very helpful and polite and the building is beautiful. Do recommend this museum to anyone with a curiosity for history.
J	Jasmine Koh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We took the opportunity to visit during public holiday. Surprisingly the crowd was not overly crowded and there are available parking lots at the museum. We came to see the “Heritage”, yet we were only shown with a train of old Malaya train. A little disappointing. The other showcasing were just as disappointing. Too much replicas and copies instead of artifacts. There are a lots better Museums in Singapore, sadly not the National Museum. Crowd: acceptable even during PH Service: top, friendly and fast Exhibition: need more contents and refresher. I think my textbooks have been information. Time needed: 1-2hours Food & Drinks: limited options (only a cafe) Admission: free for Singapore citizens Return: maybe, depending on the exhibits. The previous time before Covid I can easily spent 3-4 hours exploring. Now, lesser than 2hours I would have covered all.
J	Jason Ong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The oldest museum in Singapore, which showcases works and exhibitions of Singapore art and culture. The building has been lovingly restored and renovated, and the exhibits are very good. The current "on off" exhibition showcases appliances and life in the 1960s through the 1980s, and brings back many childhood memories for me. It's a pleasure to see things like the typewriter and old school telephones, first generation computers, etc. There's also a huge hall that explores Singapore's history from the early days pre Stamford Raffles, to the Japanese occupation during WWII. It's definitely worth a visit or more! It's free admission to citizens. A wonderful place to go for a dose of nostalgia!
