Patronage has a long history in the world of arts, culture and heritage and your support helps the National Museum of Singapore (NMS) preserve, promote and inspire with stories of Singapore and the world. More specifically, your donations enable NMS to create a space that welcomes a diverse audience and curate innovative, relevant and accessible exhibitions and programmes in a manner that ignites conversations and deepens the understanding of Singapore and the world. Help us preserve our stories so that we may present a more complete and richer picture of our shared history for our future generations. There are several ways you can give.

Join the NMS Giving Circle

The NMS Giving Circle is an exclusive patron programme for individuals, foundations, and institutions to champion the presentation of historical, cultural and artistic content. All funds raised will go towards supporting our exhibitions, family and education programmes, and curatorial research.

Your patronage makes a huge difference in keeping our stories and traditions alive and allows us to embark on creative integrations of culture and technology. The Giving Circle membership starts at $1000 and a variety of privileges are offered in this patron programme.

Visit the museum and donate on site

The next time you visit the museum, look out for our fun and unique donation drives which usually come with a surprise take-away. Get a Polaroid taken, twist a gacha machine or even collect some unique tokens inspired by the collections in the special exhibitions when you make a donation at the museum.

Our latest initiative is a digital donation kiosk which enables visitors to play a simple game involving characters inspired by the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings. The kiosk is located near the exit of the Story of the Forest installation in the Glass Rotunda. Make a donation and help baby tapir get home when you next visit the museum.
