Nei Xue Tang Museum
The Nei Xue Tang Museum ("Hall of Inner Learning") (Chinese: 内学堂) is a private museum of Buddhist art in Singapore. It is the first home museum in Singapore. The museum was created by collector Woon Wee Teng under a program enacted by the Singapore government to allow collectors to show their collections in their own homes.[1] Opened in 2005,[2] the collection is located in a four-storey pre-war house built in the Peranakan style on Cantonment Road.[3] It is Singapore's first home museum.[3] The museum is by invitation only.[4] Singaporean billionaire businessman, Oei Hong Leong, houses most of his 50,000-piece collection of Buddhist artifacts at the Museum.[4] In 2007, Woon announced plans for a much larger museum to house more Buddhist artifacts.[5] Oei subsequently bought the museum but decided not to expand the museum.[4] See also
