NUS Museum, Art museum at National University of Singapore, Singapore.
NUS Museum is an art collection at the National University of Singapore that focuses on Asian works and historical objects. The exhibitions rotate regularly and present different aspects of Southeast Asian cultural heritage.
The museum was founded in 1955 and began as a small collection within the university. Since then it has grown into a major institution that collects and displays artworks from across the region.
The collections represent artistic traditions from various Asian regions and how these art forms developed over time. Visitors can see how different countries shaped their own ways of artistic expression.
The museum is located on the university campus and offers free admission, so visitors can explore the collection at their own pace. Staff regularly offer guided tours and workshops, which deepens understanding of the displayed works.
The Lee Kong Chian Collection in the museum holds more than 7000 works and reflects how artists from different Asian countries saw their world. Some of these objects offer rare insights into craft techniques and artistic methods that are little known today.
