Learning Gallery

The Learning Gallery is dedicated to presenting artworks from SAM’s collection for the young visitor. Besides nurturing an appreciation for art, the works are specially selected to encourage lively discussions and develop creative and analytical thinking among our young visitors.

The current show, Everyday Objects, invites you to take a second look at the familiar things around you through the eyes of artists from Singapore and Southeast Asia, where everyday things we know and sometimes take for granted are portrayed in a different light, making us think twice about their function and their relation to other objects.

The Learning Gallery is opened to the public daily.
Usual museum admission applies.
Learning Gallery Education Programmes

Education programmes inspired by the artworks on display have also been specially developed for schools to offer students a multi-disciplinary and holistic contemporary art experience at the Learning Gallery. These programmes range from learning specific art techniques, to speech and drama puppet shows that encourages originality and the development of language skills and self-confidence.

Learning Gallery Education Programmes are for school bookings only.
Interested schools, please email nhb_sam_programs@nhb.gov.sg or call 6332 3220.
