About Singapore Art Museum (SAM)
Singapore Art Museum, also known as SAM, opened in 1996 as the first art museum in Singapore. SAM is building one of the world's most important public collections of Southeast Asian contemporary art, with the aim of connecting the art and the artists to the public and future generations through exhibitions and programmes. SAM is working towards a humane and sustainable future by committing to responsible practices within its processes.
SAM’s collection focuses on contemporary Southeast Asian art, while also encompassing the wider Asian region, such as China, India, Korea and Japan, to provide a broader cultural context for the core collection. Reflecting the character of contemporary art, works represented in SAM’s permanent collection span a broad spectrum of media and sensibilities, ranging from installation to video, to photography, painting, sculpture, and others. Through a robust cycle of acquisition, the SAM collection now features numerous iconic works of contemporary Southeast Asian art.
