About Us

With a history dating back to 1887, the National Museum of Singapore is the nation’s oldest museum with a progressive mind. Beneath its 19th-century colonial exterior, the museum uses cutting-edge technology to present the nation’s legacy and development. Its galleries adopt fresh, multi-angled perspectives of Singapore's history and culture, featuring important artefacts and creative storytelling that redefine the conventional museum experience.

As a cultural and architectural landmark in Singapore, the museum presents thought-provoking exhibitions and hosts exciting events all year round, including the Singapore Night Festival. In 2022, it celebrated its 135th anniversary.

Join us for an immersive experience at the National Museum of Singapore and discover the Singapore story anew.
