Fodor's Expert Review NUS Museum

On the main campus of the National University of Singapore, the NUS Museum is the nation's oldest university museum. At any one time, it displays some 1,000 of its roughly 8,000 artifacts and artworks, which were first introduced by museum curator Michael Sullivan as a teaching collection in 1955. The works are split across four major exhibits, including the South and Southeast Asian Collection and the Straits Chinese Collection. Temporary exhibitions also pop up from time to time, alongside educational workshops. If you can't make the trip to the museum itself, you can also view more than 2,000 of the fascinating artifacts via the museum's online database.
