    Went here with my partner. I have to say, this place looks small (compared to the national gallery of singapore - which was quite empty) but packs a huge amount of exhibits into the space. Easily one of best museums i have been to and well worth the $25.00 admission (as a foreigner). Also had the let's play exhibition on which was really cool because we could play games and against robot chess. Sadly had to rush through this one at the end as we only had 2hrs, for a proper exploration would recommend 3-5 hours.

    A well-curated museum with focus on the diversity of Asian civilizations. The collection is extensive, ranging from ceramics to significant historical artifacts, all thoughtfully displayed. Plan to spend at least an entire afternoon here to properly enjoy everything. There is a lot to see, and it’s worth taking your time. They often host interactive or special exhibitions as well, which can take even longer, so it’s a good idea to check in advance whether the current exhibition matches your interests. A must-visit in Singapore for anyone who appreciates culture, history, and well-designed exhibitions.
