Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind cultural space in the Lion City? Well, then, it's your cue to enter Hell’s Museum Singapore. Located inside the Haw Par Villa theme park (formerly known as Tiger Balm Garden), this is the world's first museum dedicated to death and the afterlife. Here, traditions, rituals, and the world’s major belief systems around dying take centre stage. Whether it's Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, or Islam, explore every community's belief system on what it means to die. In terms of a local perspective, understand how land-scarce Singapore manages death practices, from void deck funerals to columbariums.
Before visiting the museum, ticket holders can explore Haw Par Villa's iconic dioramas based on Chinese mythology. One particular highlight is the infamous Ten Courts of Hell, the Chinese underworld where a King of Hell (Yanluo) judges souls based on their deeds. Crimes are judged based on graphic representations, and visitors can connect their visit from the outdoor sculpture garden to the indoor, air-conditioned section, which comes with engaging audio-visual and multimedia exhibits.

The visit was good and insightful. Thank you to Pei Shi and Michelle for making the visit more informative.
Smooth, experience was overall enjoyable
Extremely informative and were upfront re the partial closures to the park. The museum was truly an eye opener.
This visit brings back memories of my only one past visit to haw par villa or tiger balm gardens when I was a very young girl, approximately 10. The 10 courts of hell, and rest of sculptures outside it, were exactly as it was. All very well preserved, good job done! Keep up the good work! To answer your question below, I was there with my younger sister.
It went well. Clear explanation.
It was a great experience. Well thought out and showcases the differences and similarities in how death and the afterlife is in the religions and beliefs of many parts of the world. It breathes new life to the 10 Courts and opens up the unique cultural beliefs of Singapore.
