The National Museum is the place to find out about the official narrative of Singapore's history. It houses the Singapore History Gallery, as well as the Singapore Living Galleries, which focuses on food, fashion, photography, fashion, film and wayang.
Unlike the National Museum, the Singapore Art Museum or SAM's focus is really on contemporary art practice, particularly that of Singapore and the South East Asian region.
At The Institute of Contemporary Arts you'll find engaging showcases of emerging and established artists with strong curatorial depth, as well as cutting edge research on contemporary art and its development in Asia.
