Past Exhibitions

NTU Museum

NTU Museum is a museum without walls, defying the conventional idea of a museum by utilising the entire campus to display artworks and bring art to the community. The museum boasts a modest permanent collection of over 200 contemporary artworks, spanning an eclectic range of Singaporean, South-East Asian, and international artists. It is an integral addition to the vibrant student culture, promoting a keen awareness and appreciation of art on campus. The museum provides opportunities for participation and cross-disciplinary collaborations through the arts.

Established in 2008, the museum emerged as the university was developing new programs in Art, Design, Media, and the Humanities and Social Sciences, complementing its strengths in Science and Technology disciplines. NTU Museum is listed under the National Heritage Board's (Singapore) Approved Museum Scheme.
