Marina Bay Sands Appoints Angelita Teo to Lead ArtScience Museum and Attractions

Marina Bay Sands has appointed Angelita Teo, a seasoned museum executive, as its new Vice President of Attractions. The integrated resort announced the hire on Wednesday, marking a significant move to bolster its cultural and entertainment offerings.

In her new role, Teo will be responsible for the strategic direction of the renowned ArtScience Museum. Her purview will also extend to other key attractions within the resort, including the Digital Light Canvas by teamLab, the Sampan Rides, and the SkyPark Observation Deck. This appointment signals a commitment to enhancing the visitor experience across these diverse attractions.

“

I am delighted to embark on an exciting new chapter with the outstanding team behind Marina Bay Sands' attractions. Having spent much of my career in the arts and culture sector, I have especially admired ArtScience Museum's evolution into one of Singapore's distinctive cultural institutions.

Teo returns to Singapore after a seven-year tenure in Switzerland, where she served as the director of the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage. During her time there, she led a multinational team focused on cultural initiatives, managed the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, and oversaw the foundation's collections and educational programs. Her international experience is expected to bring a fresh perspective to Marina Bay Sands.

Prior to her Swiss appointment, Teo spent over two decades immersed in Singapore's museum and heritage sector. Her career began at the Asian Civilisations Museum in 1996, and she later served as the director of the National Museum of Singapore from 2013 to 2019. She also held senior leadership positions at the National Heritage Board, contributing to various cultural initiatives and festivals. Teo expressed her enthusiasm for returning to Singapore's arts and culture scene, stating her admiration for the ArtScience Museum's evolution and her eagerness to foster new engagement opportunities.

I look forward to building on this foundation by fostering new opportunities for meaningful engagement and continuing to share the stories of Singapore and Asia with audiences from around the world.
