Complimentary museum entry every Friday
There are several museums in Singapore worth exploring. My personal favourites are the Asian Civilisations Museum II and the Singapore Art Musuem for the engaging and interesting exhibitions that are constantly held here.
Of course, the other museums in Singapore also have interesting exhibitions and collections that warrant a visit. They chart the cultural, social, artistic and historic growth of our island country.
As an added incentive for enticing you to check out what our museums have to offer, there is no admission charge during the hours of 7pm and 9pm on Fridays. Providing complimentary entrance to museums at the end of the work week, means that there will be many visitors. You will be sure to meet fellow art/history/culture enthusiasts who will be happy to strike up a conversation about the exhibition with you.
Look out also for on-site demonstrations and workshops by artists (painters, sculptures, performers) related to the exhibition.
