SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark: Plan Your Visit
SAM’s Distripark galleries are a good option for an art afternoon without a packed itinerary. Citizens and PRs enter free. Set your map to 39 Keppel Road, not the museum’s older Bras Basah address.

Pick one exhibition to start
Check SAM’s current programme before going. Our suggestion is to choose one exhibition that interests you and leave the second as a bonus. Contemporary art is easier to enjoy when you are not trying to finish a checklist.

Admission without the guesswork
Citizens and PRs enter free with ID, without purchasing a general admission ticket. Standard admission for tourists and foreign residents is S$10; eligible overseas students, teachers and seniors aged 60+ pay S$5. Listed prices include booking fees.
Children aged six and under, locally based students and teachers, and visitors with disabilities plus one caregiver also qualify for free entry. Bring the relevant proof. Separately booked events may have their own terms.
