Do Singaporeans pay to get into the Asian Civilisations Museum?
Singapore citizens and PRs enter the permanent galleries free; show a Pink or Blue NRIC for verification. Special exhibitions are ticketed separately for everyone, and foreign residents and tourists pay at the museum's own rates. Concession prices apply to seniors, students and people with disabilities with a caregiver, and you need valid ID at the Visitor Services counter.

It helps. The museum encourages visitors to buy admission online ahead to cut the wait at the counter. All tickets are non-refundable and can't be exchanged, so buy for a date you're sure of. Entry is subject to the museum's venue rules.
