Singapore Art Museum

The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) is housed at a restored 19th century mission school (the former premises of St Joseph’s Institution), a beautiful architecture.



Opened since 1996, it had housed numerous southeast asian as well as international exhibitions. A good place to visit when one's in a mood to be away from the hectic commercial life.
One's strongly encouraged to join their guided tour to have a quick introduction to the exhibits. One may think that what one already know or interpret what one sees as just a simple painting or artwork but with the explanations of an enthusiastic guide, then one knows the history or idea behind that painting or artwork and better appreciates it. You may then discover many more wonders as you make a tour around the museum.
