Visit Singapore's superb museums

Singapore's cultural scene is much underappreciated than most people realize. This is particularly true given that it is home to some of the top galleries and museums in the area. Get out of your comfort zone this October and spend your leisure time getting back to know Singapore's art and culture scene. Visit a museum to discover more about the past and unseen tales that have influenced our identity. What's best? It's a fantastic activity for two people.

Singapore's ever-growing collection of cutting-edge cultural institutions now puts it on par with the greatest museum cities in the world. Popular attractions include the National Museum Singapore, which chronicles Singapore's history, the Asian Civilizations Museum, an engrossing tribute to Asia's intercultural connections, and the National Gallery Singapore, which houses the largest public collection of Southeast Asian and Singaporean art in the world.

The Peranakan Museum, which honors the vibrant culture of the distinct ethnic group that resulted from the blending of the Chinese and Malay peoples, and the Changi Museum & Chapel, which highlights the tales of the POWs and civilians interned in Changi Prison during the Japanese occupation of Singapore, are just two of the smaller and more eccentric museums to explore.
