National Museum of Singapore

As Singapore’s oldest museum, the National Museum of Singapore has stood as the country’s definitive historical record since its construction in 1887. Located in the heart of the city, this national treasure houses a rich collection of artifacts and fine art, including a notable selection of watercolors by William Farquhar. Visitors can explore the museum’s galleries, which offer a comprehensive look at Singapore’s history and culture through carefully curated exhibits. The building itself, with its neoclassical architecture, adds to the experience, providing a fitting backdrop for the nation’s storied past.
