[2025 Singapore Attraction] Travel Guide for Hell's Museum (Updated Apr)

#singaporetrips Visiting Hell's Museum in Singapore was a unique and thought-provoking experience. As I walked through the exhibits, I was confronted with vivid depictions of the afterlife, based on Buddhist and Taoist beliefs. The intricate dioramas and sculptures showed the consequences of karma and the suffering that follows sinful actions. I felt a mix of fascination and unease as I explored the museum. The experience was haunting, yet strangely captivating. It left me reflecting on my own values and the importance of living a virtuous life. Overall, Hell's Museum was a memorable and introspective experience.

#singaporetrip What a cool place to visit if you have any interest in the ideas surrounding death and the afterlife of different cultures and religions.. Very informative and visually stimulating as well.. the sculptures look smaller in the pictures than they do in person.. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable of the topics visited.. I'd recommend planning to spend at least 3 hours if you really want to take it all in.. plus there's a massive park of sculptures outside of the Hell Museum that are free of charge to see which are family friendly.. I wouldn't take any small children inside the museum though due to some of the gruesome depictions within the 10 courts of Hell.. Definitely recommend to visit this place if you have the time and interest. Glad I made it..

#singaporetrip A unique attraction that showcases religion — something you can’t find elsewhere in Singapore (according to my knowledge). Museum gives you an insight into the various religions highlighting our local chinese traditions (with regard to religion). There were 3 eye-catching displays that i highly recommend to tourists and those not familiar with chinese afterlife processions. But for those who are pantang/supertitious, take it as a knowledge gathering experience. Joanne, the docent, was engaging and informative. She entertained our (local and mostly kaypoh) questions with utmost professionalism and provided tasteful answers. To the management if you see this, please convey my compliments to Joanne. She is an exemplary example of service standards in Singapore. $18 for entry into the museum. Would highly recommend to go for the guided tour and go through the museum yourself thereafter. The exhibits gives further insights while the tour provides a storytelling experience. Holistically, the tour and museum would justify its price. For the skeptics, the 10 courts of hell is the same but with renewed and well-maintained environment. There is an additional exhibition area before you go to the 10 courts of hell. Having been to Haw Par Villa before its renovation, i’d say that the managing company has done a wonderful job in this renewal.

#singapore We have been visiting the village of Hao Bar in order to take care of Chinese legends. What we found was an interesting dive into the concepts of death and afterlife from around the world with a specific dive into Singaporean culture and the ten courts of hell. I want to thank all the staff, who were kind and helpful in everything, had a lot of patience and made us feel very welcome. And I want to give a special thank you to Paul, who took a lot of time to explain to us the different parts of the exhibition and gave us an interesting insight into the traditions and culture of Singapore surrounding death and the afterlife, as well as explaining the interesting history of this place. It’s a great place to visit whenever you’re in Singapore and the small entrance fee for the Hell Museum is more than due! 100% I'll go there again when I get back. For several decades I was taken to a villa when I was a child and I was terrified of the hell courts that haunted me for many years. This recent visit as a mature adult exceeded my expectations, it was very useful, interesting and high-level as other First World provinces. Experienced people have led us through the paths of the introduction to the major religions of the ancient world that have put forward the universal realities of good and evil, reward, judgment and punishment in later life and how ancient religious principles are deeply rooted in Singaporean culture through religion, history and culture that reflect its multicultural society I went out to learn more about Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoist principles of life, death and afterlife that are part of Chinese heritage and cultural roots. Thanks to the organizers
