ArtScience Museum
A lotus-shaped museum beside Marina Bay Sands, with teamLab's interactive light installations in Future World, which are great for families.
The ArtScience Museum sits beside the Marina Bay Sands shopping centre. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, its white building looks like a blooming lotus, and it has also been described as a 'welcoming hand.' Rainwater collected on the roof flows into a pool in the centre. The museum regularly stages large special exhibitions that cross art and science. Its permanent exhibition, Future World, was created by the Japanese team teamLab. It uses digital light and interactive installations to create an immersive space, and children can see their own drawings come to life in the 'Colouring Town.' Each exhibition requires a separate ticket, so it is best to book online in advance. At night, a photo from Merlion Park with the museum and the Marina Bay Sands hotel together looks striking. Bayfront MRT station is about a 5-minute walk away.
