Its permanent collections, rotating exhibitions, educational programmes, and international collaborations showcase the rich artistic heritage and cultural diversity of Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Beyond the exhibitions, the museum offers guided tours, interactive spaces, cafés, restaurants, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Padang and Marina Bay.
