Set inside the former Istana Kampong Glam — the royal palace of Singapore's last Malay sultan — this museum tells the rich story of Malay culture, identity, and community in Singapore. The palace grounds and architecture are as compelling as the exhibits inside, and the surrounding Kampong Glam neighbourhood makes for a perfect half-day cultural itinerary. Admission is very affordable and crowds are manageable even on weekends.
