Journey through 700 years of history and explore over 1700 historical and cultural artifacts at the National Museum of Singapore. With a history dating back to 1887, it is the nation's oldest museum. Beneath its 19th-century colonial exterior, its galleries adopt cutting-edge ways of presenting history and culture that make for an unconventional and progressive museum experience!
Your ticket will give you access to the amazing permanent galleries. Visit the Singapore History Gallery to learn about the development of the island as it was known through the years, from Singapura, Crown Colony, Syonan-To, to Singapore.

Finally, the Goh Seng Choo Gallery features a selection of drawings from the museum's prized William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings that highlight the rich natural history of Southeast Asia.
