Friends of the Museums (FOM)
Friends of the Museums, Singapore (FOM) is a non-profit society which provides members with opportunities to learn, share and experience Asian art, history and culture through myriad activities.
We also support Singapore museums and heritage-related organisations with volunteer guides and docents, for whom we provide well-developed FOM museum docent training specific to each establishment. For the professionalism and efforts of our volunteers, FOM has been consistently recognised as a Supporter at the Patron of Heritage Awards presented by the NHB.
If you love and care about our history and heritage, and would like to train as an FOM docent, do join us for more information at our Public Information Meeting.
