National Museum of Singapore

Step into history at the National Museum of Singapore 📚✨ The city’s oldest museum is a treasure trove of captivating exhibitions—think vintage suitcases, old-school clothing and special projection screens that breathe life into the culture and stories behind Singapore’s rise. It’s a sunlit blend of elegant Western architecture and modern gallery spaces, perfect for culture hunters and photo enthusiasts alike.

Start your visit with the Singapore History Gallery for an engaging walk through pivotal moments. Don’t miss the Life in Singapore exhibitions for authentic showcases of national identity. Snap a close-up of the stunning museum facade bathed in daylight—those crisp lines and curves are Insta-gold! Inside, position yourself in the exhibition hall with the retro luggage displays and glowing screens behind you for an immersive shot.

Arrive early (from 10:00 AM) to dodge the crowds and savour the quiet; golden hour just before sunset offers fantastic exterior photos, especially when the modern and neoclassical elements light up at night. If you’re planning to browse every gallery, set aside at least 2 hours. Tickets are available until 6:00 PM, with the last admission at 6:30 PM—don’t be late!

Pro tip: The museum’s outdoor landscape is equally photogenic, so don’t skip a stroll through the grounds. And, with all those exhibitions, you’ll absorb Singapore’s history in a truly vivid way—definitely one of the best ways to learn and connect with the city’s past.
