Safe Entry is an artwork by Heman Chong. It is based on a QR code repeated and amplified over a very long wall.
As other reviews have mentioned, it is small. Although staff said there were three galleries, it was essentially two galleries and one children's area.
Nonetheless, exhibits were pretty interesting and had alot of depth to them! Funny how it became more of a history museum than a fine art museum :) Tackled issues pertinent to our local context.
The coffee shop and bookstore made up for the small size, as well as the NAFA exhibition next door. Overall is great for kids and if you are in the area :)
An interesting Art Museum showing rare masterpieces of Claude Monet and other Impressionists. I expected less from this museum, but was impressed to see loaned masterpieces from European galleries, like d'Orsay. At time of our visit (March 2018) there was a special exhibition, showing masterpieces from Monet, Renoir, Juan Luna and others. The building itself is a spectacular, Neoclassical in style, but too large for the pieces of art i offers. An hour is enough to take at look at the most prominent pictures.
If you are living in Singapore then you should definitely visit this National Museum one day because this shows you the history of Singapore by various exhibitions, historic objects and many audio clippings.
The Museum shows you the beginning of this land by portraits and clips too
If you are an art lover you should not miss this place in Level 1 (history) cause you will love it.
In Level 2 its a forest journey and you will enjoy if you're with your family or friends
Your kids will love the 3D experience in Level2.
A Basement Level is also opened now which is about Polaroid. If you are a science lover you will love it.
Altogether it was a good experience.

Most wonderful museum I've ever been to! The Singapore Biennale was taking place and regrouped artists from all over Asia. There were so many things to see and feel. The installations were amazing, challenging the way you thought. It was a bit easy to get lost here but I always found my way back.
