Must see two breathtaking, beautiful and wonderous exhibitions - Singapore Stories Pathways and Detours in Art on level 2, and He Xiangning Ink Paintings on level 4. Awesome, refreshing with much to learn. Lives of the painters, in war, revolution and peace, shine through. Go twice. Restaurants are nearby. Photos by mobile phone are allowed. MRT City Hall. Changes your view, understanding of Singapore.
The National Gallery Singapore is a nice place, and the building itself is very impressive and beautiful 🏛️ There are many artworks to see, and everything is well maintained and organized. However, personally, I found it a bit less exciting than I expected. Some exhibitions were interesting, but overall it didn’t feel very engaging for me. It’s still worth visiting if you enjoy art, but for me, it was just an average experience.
Was fortunate to visit the exhibition on "Into the Modern: Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston". It was a Thursday afternoon well spent browsing the masterpieces on loan. As it was raining outside, the crowd was not big; so it was possible to enjoy the art pieces in relative quietness.
Fortunate to visit the "Impressionists" exhibition with many world famous pictures loaned from Boston Fine Arts centre, Absolutely wonderful
We had a standby reservation at Violet Oon, giving us 20 minutes to pop into the Gallery. We wanted to see the Monet and contemporaries exhibit, but at $25, it wasn’t worth just 15 minutes—so we checked out a few free exhibits instead. The building is stunning: two former government buildings linked by a walkway and covered courtyard.
I wanted to present an appreciation festive gift to tour guide M. Hui after attending her tour, (and training few days prior). however, her reaction was extremely loud, repeatedly saying she cannot accept it in front of the tour attendees. this extreme reaction was uncalled for, embarrasing and could have been more professional and discreetly managed. If she could not accept it because the museum staff were present, she could politely thank and decline. attended the tour last year. this is an late review.
Visiting impressionist exhibit was wonderful, lovely building and local content was good. Well set up and managed Viewing plaform & interactive art also lovely
Love this year's Biennale's messages on environmentalism (from old toys and clothes!) and kindness. The art installations are lot more interactive (e.g. dancing) than last year's Biennale. *Some stamp stations are a little hidden... it's okay to ask the staff/ volunteers to help find where the stamp stations are. *Remember to complete all 8 stations before 6:45pm so that the uncle (at a small booth near the front counter) who awards the stickers can knock off on time :) So maybe reach by 5 or 6pm if you wanna have enough time to enjoy all 8 stations.
Yes — I would recommend Raffles Archives & Museum if it aligns with your interests (education history, alumni stories, heritage of a specific institution) or you want to explore something a little off the beaten path in Singapore. But I’d caution that it’s not a major “museum destination” in the way some of the big national museums are.
It doesn't matter for people who don't like art. Light building and indoor space are worth visiting The only regret is that the exhibition space is very fragmented It's hard to get around.
