ArtScience Museum

Museum Museum blending art and science with interactive exhibitions

The lotus‑shaped ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands stages international exhibitions blending art, design and science; visitors attend temporary shows and public programmes inside a distinctive architectural shell.

The ArtScience Museum is a cultural institution located at the Marina Bay Sands complex in central Singapore, notable for its lotus-inspired architecture. The museum presents rotating exhibitions that explore intersections of art, science, design and technology.

The museum opened in 2011 and hosts both travelling international exhibitions and locally curated shows across multiple gallery spaces. Its galleries are used for temporary exhibitions rather than a single permanent national collection, enabling frequent program changes.

Situated on the waterfront at Marina Bay, the museum is directly accessible from the Marina Bay Sands development and is integrated into the wider arts and civic precinct of the city.

Architecture and exhibitions: The building's lotus-shaped design is an architectural landmark and features rotating international exhibitions that link art, science and technology themes.

Tips for Visiting ArtScience Museum #

Book tickets for the specific exhibition you want and arrive when the museum opens to see popular rotating exhibitions before they get crowded; exhibition schedules change frequently so check the website beforehand.
Enter from the Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza/Promenade side to avoid mall foot traffic and to combine a short walk along the waterfront with views of the lotus-shaped building.
Note that photography and handling rules vary by exhibition - check exhibit signage on arrival to avoid accidentally contravening restrictions.
