Having come across many international art museums, we feel that the Singapore Arts Museum (SAM) is one that deserves worldwide recognition due to its extensive collection of international art work. It is one of the popular attractions amongst art lovers in the South East Asian region. We feel that the Singapore Art Museum will be the one of the biggest global arts phenomenon in the region. Arts lovers can consider this attraction when deciding places of interest to visit in Singapore.
The Singapore Art Museum was opened in January 1996, to preserve and offer art histories and existing art culture of Singapore and Southeast Asian.

The Museum holds a collection of 7000 Singapore and SEA modern arts and over 1000 from Tyler Print Collection, which includes famous names in the 20th century like Frank Stella and Roy Lichtenstein.
