★★★★★2 months agoApril 2026, under a long period of restoration. it's finally reopen on 25 April 2026. it showcase Singapore Malay Heritage and the sultan family belongings and life style. it is a small place you can covered the 2 levels in one hour time. Do you know Singapore have a king.. visit this place and find out yourself.

★★★★★2 months agoFirst visit to this little heritage museum which appears to be part of a permanent exhibition. Well organized and all displayed clearly with corresponding context and storytelling. One can easily move from one section to another and learn about the history of the Malay communities here while also appreciating some of the related arts and culture. The wayang exhibit (shadow puppets) was particularly entertaining as it was an interactive display that caught the attention of almost every guest there. Free admission for all. Only steps away from historic Masjid Sultan.
