- Lissa15351Denver, CO13 contributionsOne of the coolest things I've ever seen while travelling! They provide cover ups if you're wearing shorts or tank tops. The temple was absolutely stunning. Make sure you visit all the floors! The sanctuary on the roof was beautiful and so peaceful!Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Yates262Richmond, VA153 contributionsThey had 2 very good exhibits; Amazon & History of Singapore. However, the museum is under renovation so they have a weird entrance, one small bathroom and not much common area to sit and relax etcWritten 4 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would recommend a visit!Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The focus is on the Parakanan culture and people, essentially the diversity of people resulting from the centuries of trade. Has an excellent batik exhibit. Try to find a restaurant that specializes in that style of food.Written 16 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Navigator578790681631 contributionhey besties, im a student from Singapore Management University (SMU)! decided to check out The Intan because I felt that it was about time for me to enter my artsy and cultural era, and just like i expected, the museum was lit! The Intan gave grace and beauty, and absolutely devoured. the vibes were immaculate, and i was GAGGED the moment i stepped foot inside. the artefacts slayed, and the owner, Alvin, is a KING of yapping and rizzing. to all the sigmas out there, book your appointments now to increase your aura points, and enjoy a GOATED day out at The Intan! The Intan truly is THAT museum.Written 23 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- GinnyleeinwonderlandHai Phong, Vietnam354 contributionsIt was a very creative museum. The location was very nice with the view straight to the bay. Inside, it was small museum showing new technology of the world, new creations of the world such as the sport suits, phones, smart stuff for the house, headphones, etc... It was very nice to walk around and to be able to touch things in the museumWritten 20 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Onn11Singapore, Singapore659 contributionsThe building is situated in a noisy and bustling part of the Little India district in Singapore, but going in, the feel is very different as it is quiet, cool and relaxed.
Even for a local like myself, the exhibitions on the 3rd and 4th levels of the building about the Indian community in Singapore both past and present are refreshing as they relate the contributions made by this minority community as well as the rich experiences they came with when many of these ones migrated over to Singapore in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy a slow and relaxed way of learning more about the Indian diaspora in this part of the world.Written 17 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you're here with kids who by nature have short attention spans, it might be hard to stay more than 20 minutes and to fully appreciate everything here.
If you grew up loving everything British, and have some kind of understanding about how all these toys/ memorabilia were most likely painstakingly preserved AND put together, over DECADES, by some private collectors - you'll probably be utterly impressed about how extensive and incredibly well-preserved the collections here are. Despite how a little boring and cold the displays appear, you gotta admit, they have lots of REAL unique antique toys AND memorabilia in there.
Though it is also good to note that - the sensitive, new-age folks might find some exhibits offensive (e.g. there's quite a lot of erm......... African and Chinese toys from that era, and from that perspective). But we love history and culture, and we get that every era's got their thing.
Perhaps they don't just need a new theatre/show - but better storytellers/marketers with fresh eyes to draw in and to remind visitors, that it is okay to look and learn from the past, in order to know how to navigate the present/future better. Maybe not so much of, "Keep Calm and Carry On" but rather, "Let's have a conversation and learn together" kinda messaging to make it an overall more meaningful and engaging experience for visitors.
Just a Penny (or Farthing) worth of thoughts.Written 10 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I had a hands on tour where I got to touch gemstones and fossils. The staff were very warm and friendly. I learned so much!Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Becky L1 contributionSuch a unique experience!
We went to their old place accidentally but luckily read the email again and walked 12 min to their new location.
The museum is upstairs on the 2nd floor. There was no signs so be sure to read the email when you book your reservation.
The museum was 2 rooms packed with antique and unique music boxes. Our guide explained the history of each of the large music boxes and engaged our 2 teenagers in the demonstration. We were amazed at the intricate designs and functionalities of each music boxes that only needed a few cranks to play their magnificent music. Would definitely recommend.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
