Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum: Future World now, More than Human from 28 November

At 6pm3, so a 4pm slot leaves 2 hours. The morning4 is the quiet part of the day.

Q: What is free at ArtScience Museum?

Walking into the museum3 costs nothing, and so do In the Ether7, Sounding Lines8 and the Level 1 lobby screen, where an artwork plays on every hour2.

From The Shoppes3 go through the Oculus; by car, the North Car Park lift to Level 1 puts you on the Waterfront Promenade.
