If I had to pick one place to visit out of the three in this list, the Asian Civilizations Museum would be it. So you definitely must check it out.
 

2. Battle Box, Fort Canning Park

This interesting place lies at the top of Fort Canning Park. You may want to visit it after a long day shopping along Orchard Road. It’s a pretty long walk up the hill though, so be sure you bring lots of water and some snacks.

A good way to enjoy it is to reserve a full afternoon for visiting. Fort Canning used to be a defence station for the island of Singapore – you’ll find all manner of interesting exhibits on display at this place.
 

3. Singapore Art Museum

The Singapore Art Museum is another exquisite historical museum that you should visit. Housing art works and sculptures by famous artists, you will find all manner of art exhibits that are worth your while.
