Entry to the museum is free but depending on the crowd outside you could be waiting up to 30 minutes to get in. Upon entering, the staff will give you a briefing on what you can and cannot do inside of the building. There are three levels. The first and third floors being dedicated to pottery of different time periods. The second floor is more for temporary exhibits and more exploratory things. The exhibits on this floor could use more explanation instead of a number next to such exhibits, as I had a hard time understanding why it was even displayed in the beginning. Overall a good place to visit if you happen to be within a stones throw from here.
A nice place to discover about the biology & history, worth experience for children & family
NUS Museum is a university museum focused on Asian art and culture, with a mix of historical and contemporary works. The space is nothing grand but large enough to house a good range of exhibits, and very comfortable — calm, quiet, and peaceful when I visited, perfect for a slow, reflective visit. The permanent collection is well-curated, and they currently have two excellent exhibitions: Fistful of Colours: Moments of Chinese Cosmopolitanism and Unfettered Brush: The Art and Writings of Tan Joo Jong — both worth checking out. Overall, a hidden gem if you enjoy art and want a quiet museum experience.
Nice place, very kind staff, free ticket. Thank you for the hospitality
It's free and it's just opposite of Natural history museum. We can be sure to find Ancient Chinese pots, earthenware, ceramics. There are few artifacts from India and one from combodia. There are some paintings and art installation. A few crazy things were there in sculptures and art. Otherwise simple, neat museum which you can cover in a couple of hours
