• Find out about the Museum
  
• Join training courses conducted by SAM curators
  
• Meet new people with interest in arts

Docents are trained guides who conduct public museum tours. They are a vital part of the Singapore Art Museum's success and their contributions have allowed many visitors to gain insight into our exhibitions. To qualify as a museum guide, docents undergo extensive training organised by the museum and our volunteer partners.

The Singapore Art Museum has daily guided tours which are conducted by:
