Nei Xue Tang Museum

The Nei Xue Tang ("Hall of Inner Learning") Museum is a private museum in Singapore.^[1]

Nei Xue Tang’s priceless collection of Buddhist art works pays tribute to devotees, with Buddhist artifacts, relics, antiquities and art pieces gathered from Japan and Gandhara to China and Indonesia. One of Singapore’s few private museums, Nei Xue Tang has carefully amassed a collection of some 10,000 pieces of Buddhist art over a 40-year period. The collection is particularly strong in Chinese and Southeast Asian works, especially from Thailand and Cambodia – two primarily Buddhist countries. On display are rare bronze and stone statues, amulets, talismans and relics, made from varying media such as gold, silver, bronze, stone, horn, jade and crystal.^[2]

Nei Xue Tang Museum is located in a four-storey pre-war house built in the Peranakan style, at 235 Cantonment Road, Singapore.
