Admission ticket price adjustment
based on 2978 reviewsWent to Skullpanda Cage-Uncaged showcase which runs from 12 December 2025 to 22 February 2026. The curation was actually pretty nice and you can tell a lot of thought went into the setup. It’s split between the ground floor (level 1) and basement though, I kinda wish it was all in one space because the vibes reset when you move between areas.Price is affordable, but didn’t fully hit the “worth it” feeling for me. I expected more wow or more immersive Skullpanda world...some sections felt a bit empty or disconnected (e.g. the balancing beam section). Still a good experience overall, just wish it pushed the concept further! 🥺[p.s. Got our tickets via Trip.com; smooth transaction, zero hassle getting in]

The building is magnificent, with exhibitions on the basement, first, and second floors. There aren't many physical exhibits; it's mostly pictures and light shows. The viewing environment is excellent—quiet and orderly, and the visitors are all very well-behaved. The Pop Mart special exhibition was very interesting; I even won my first ever Labubu and Star Man blind boxes in the shop next door—I loved them!
There are many interactive modern technologies. You can walk through it in 2 hours. It has three underground floors, one floor, two floors, and Fort Canning Park behind it. It tells the history of Singapore very thoroughly. I personally felt that there weren't many artifacts, but the Odyssey interactive exhibit on the second floor was great. Be sure to get a wristband, and there will be a little elf following you, which is super cute.
The exhibits in the museum are quite rich, and it is impossible to take pictures of them all. From historical and cultural relics to the entire development history, it is very complete and very helpful for understanding the history of Singapore! It is especially suitable for parent-child travel, and it is very beneficial to bring children to increase their knowledge! (There is a place in the museum where you can eat and rest, the price is reasonable, and you need to clean up after the meal)
The National Museum of Singapore was established in 1887. It has a history of more than 120 years and is the oldest museum in Singapore. However, it embodies the young and innovative spirit of the country. The design concept of this museum is for the general public. It tells the history of Singapore in the most advanced and colorful way, and interprets the new connotation of traditional museums.
People who don't know English at all are not recommended to come here, otherwise you can only feast your eyes and take pictures. I have read most of the introductions in it, which shows the history of Singapore very well, especially Lee Kuan Yew's contribution to Singapore. I also saw that they made arduous and outstanding resistance during the Anti-Japanese War just like us. The garden dome on the second floor is beautiful. I was amazed in the video I uploaded.
The Singapore Museum is a very worthwhile place for children to visit and learn. The literature and pictures inside are very interesting. It introduces many historical and cultural monuments and numerous development histories of Singapore. It also introduces the hardships of overseas Chinese in those days. It is really a good place to learn.
