Museums in Singapore are drawing record crowds, peaking at over 5.7 million in-person visits in 2024 for national museums and heritage institutions.
The ArtScience Museum, for instance, has been curating exhibitions beyond static art displays.
The Children’s Museum Singapore is designed to be a "starter museum" for children, where they can tackle serious topics in a playful manner.
Outreach programmes such as the Singapore Night Festival and Singapore Heritage Festival have contributed to a vibrant museum scene.
