Villa Museum or Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial hall, formerly known as Sun Yat Sen Villa or Wan Qing Yuan narrates the heroic, nationalist, armed struggle of the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance in South-East Asia. The revolution was led in the region by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who visited Singapore eight times from 1900 to 1911. Later, the villa was converted as a museum.

Villa Museum
The villa museum holds priceless treasure of exquisite calligraphy works, 50 beautiful paintings and grand sculptures.

The museums's most important asset is a 2-meter tall bronze wall mural depicting Singapore's history from the 1840s to the 1940s. Artists came from China to make the artwork, considered Singapore's longest bronze mural. Attracting the cost of S$1 million, the expensive artwork depicts interesting scenes from the 1840s and the 1940s.

Several bronze statues have been dropped around the villa garden. Many of the idols are of the martyrs who helped Dr. Sun. Most important artwork is the meter-tall sculpture of Dr Sun. The museum also showcases water and oil color paintings and calligraphy by top artists. Photographs, artifacts and audio-visual equipments are also presented.

The villa was designated a national museum in 1994.
