National Gallery Singapore
Museum of Singapore & Southeast Asian Arts housed in a restored municipal building dating to 1929. Home to the largest modern art collection in Southeast Asia, the National Gallery mostly focuses on the works of local and Asian artists starting in the 19th century. The 9,000-plus works of art are divided between two buildings – City Hall and the former Supreme Court – over more than 64,000 square meters.
In addition to the permanent collection, the gallery hosts temporary exhibits in unique aspects such as Vietnamese lacquer painting, modern photography, and Chinese calligraphy.
Free tours are available in English and Mandarin, and the gallery also offers workshops, open performances, and special presentations for both adults and children.
