The National Museum of Singapore is the definitive historical record for the country as well as its oldest museum. Built in 1887, the impressive structure is one of the 11 national treasures of Singapore and contains several precious artifacts and fine art.

The museum offers free admission to its permanent exhibits including the Goh Seng Choo Gallery, which features a selection of watercolors from William Farquhar. Living in Singapore in the 19th century Farquhar assembled a series of paintings exploring the sights and sounds of the country.

Even with these permanent exhibitions, the museum’s organizers also incorporate new events and exhibits that keep Singaporeans coming back, showcasing new work from local photographers, filmmakers and dance performers on a weekly basis.

Aside from these events, the museum itself is worth exploring, containing intricate designs to its façade and interior. The very dome atop the structure contains 3,000 zinc fish-scale tiles and panels made from stained-glass.

Doing what: See Singapore Attraction Pass

We got the 5 day consective pass and we totally got our monies worth. This was great value for us and kept us on the go every day. We found it easy to use and did not experience any problems with gaining entry with it. You need to use it to its full potential to get the benefit. Would recommend this

This Singapore pass was great value and very easy to pick up and start using! The best attractions I used it for were a river cruise, which is a great way to enjoy the river sights without having to walk in the heat and humidity, and the Night Safari, which is really cool. Plus, with the card, you can use a different line at the Night Safari to get your ticket, skipping the long lines of other tourists (it was crowded when I was there). I would definitely recommend this if you plan on visiting several attractions!
