Free National Gallery Singapore Insider membership

National Day heralds something that’s close to the hearts of Singaporeans: deals. And if you’ve already scoped out the NDP Fun Pack vouchers and checked out all the $5.50 food deals, it’s time to turn your eyes towards nourishing your inner art buff instead.

You’ll be glad to note that National Gallery Singapore is offering free 1-year Gallery Insider membership (worth $120) for all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents. No minimum spend, no strings attached. Here’s what it entails:

Unlimited and priority access to exhibitions

Bid goodbye to snaking queues with a Gallery insider membership thanks to priority access for selected exhibitions. A little bird told us that there might be priority booking slots and discounts, too.

No admission fees needed for special exhibitions, like past Yayoi Kusama ones.

Plus, you’ll also get unlimited access to exhibitions year-round, definitely an idea for those who want to switch it up for date nights or gatherings.

Members can also enjoy access to exclusive Insiders-only events – feelin’ that FOMO, yet? Also, you will be able to rack up points when visiting the Gallery to redeem perks like vouchers.

Discounts on shopping and dining

After all that art browsing, your stomach might be rumbling. Pick from National Gallery’s extensive slate of F&B establishments, where the membership shaves up to 10%-15% off the bill.
