Dewanza SaurusJuly 28, 2015Love the branding, really well designed. Take a look at it's souvenir shop, they have plenty cool stuffs.
Elise ❥December 29, 2015Singaporeans and PRs get free entry by showing your ID. Went on a Monday and it was free. Love the architecture of the building. Don't miss their connected building SAM@8Q at the side.
Laura PicardSeptember 27, 2014The current contemporary art exhibition, "medium at large", is quite an extraordinary selection of art that challenges traditional concepts of media and ways of seeing. Definitely worth checking out!
SteveFebruary 1, 2016If you are planning to go to more than 1 museum, consider getting a 3 day pass for about $20 which will give you access to all 5 city museums.
Mabel Yeo-AdriadiOctober 2, 2014Come join Haig Girls' School and partners as the P4 pupils showcase their interpretations of arts works curated by the museum. Go up to level 2 and head towards Gallery 2.7!
SAM (& SAM @ 8Q) showcases contemporary Asian art and were hosts to/will host Singapore Biennale. Both buildings were schools until the late '80s when they were converted to the art spaces today.- FREE ADMISSION for Singaporean Citizens & Perm Residents, just flash your Identity Card. And join one of the free English guided tours on the weekends at 2pm or 330pm for insights to the collections.
- Simple DiscoveriesSeptember 5, 2016Some interesting art exhibits to check out if you're in the area. Occasionally hosts free entry as part of events/festivals (we went as part of the annual Night Fest event).
- Visit Leaning Gallery 1 & 2 on the 2nd Floor for a fun introduction to contemporary art by Asian artists as the featured works are less esoteric and more accessible. :-)
Christian KatarnSeptember 22, 2014Rainy day? A visit to this museum is a must, they have a really nice collection
- Exhibitions run only for a couple of months as there isn't a 'perm' exhibition per se, so check back every few months or visit www.singaporeartmusem.sg to see what's on.
Nice Small Art Museum displaying mainly art from south east asia.
Some interesting exhibits but not consistent. Gives you great ideas, fires up your imagination
Free admission 4 Singapore citizens & PR all year round fr 18May2013. 7 other museums too! Fridays open until 9pm!
celinaSeptember 10, 2014Charges SGD$10 if you are a tourist as compare to free for locals. Not sure if the exhibitions warrants that price as it is quite small.
Arthi RameshMay 17, 2012You have to read the print on the wall to appreciate the installations. Someday you will learn to appreciate art too.- Went first time with my school with some pupils. Staff was patient and attentive. Great place to learn about arts.
Tomomi KatoSeptember 27, 2013Admission free on every Friday. And this is under renovation. So some galleries are closed. (As of sep 27, 2013)
Joy YaoMay 1, 2014Inspiring art installation:) really insightful works relating to man & environment
Matthias BaetensJuly 1, 2013Beautiful building and nice bunny at the outside, but collection not worth the visit.
- Dönałd ʕ •ᴥ•ʔJune 10, 2012Come and explore the different themes of the Arts uniquely presents by SAM. In love with thy art <3!
THE Z WORLD ZAHRANMarch 6, 2014Free Admission on Friday 6pm-9pm. 10 Bucks the other time. Its very cool art.
Expect the unexpected. Art exhibitions will keep changing every 3 months. :)
Closing hours are FAKE, especially the museum shop. By the security guard's admission, they are usually closed by 6.40pm.
- Vincent RamosJanuary 6, 2011This is an underappreciated Singaporean institution - well worth a visit.
Edmund BoeyFebruary 18, 2016Not much on display in here, so unless you get a free ticket as a Singaporean or permanent resident, it's really not worth it..
Check out the museum shop, erh... And Food For Thought besides SAM@ 8Q
