National Gallery Singapore is a leading visual arts institution overseeing the largest public collection of modern

art in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Situated at the birthplace of modern Singapore, in the heart of the Civic

District, the Gallery is housed in two national monuments - City Hall and former Supreme Court - that have

been beautiful y restored and transformed into this exciting 64,000 square metres venue. Reflecting

Singapore's unique heritage and geographical location, the Gallery aims to be a progressive museum that

creates dialogues between the art of Singapore, Southeast Asia and the world to foster and inspire a creative

and inclusive society. This is reflected in our collaborative research, education initiatives, long-term and special

exhibitions, and innovative programming. The Gallery also works with international museums such as National

Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (MOMAT), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea

(MMCA), Centre Pompidou, Musée d'Orsay and Tate Britain to jointly present Southeast Asian art in the global

context, positioning Singapore as a key node in the global visual arts scene.

In 2018, the Gallery was the only museum in Southeast Asia that received a ranking in The Art Newspaper's

annual global survey of attendance at museums and took the 38th place. It is also the first museum in Asia to

receive the Children in Museums Award by the European Museum Academy and Hands On! International

Association of Children in Museums. It also won the awards for “Best Theme Attraction” at TTG Travel Awards

2017, “Best Attraction Experience”, “Breakthrough Contribution to Tourism” and “Best Customer Service

(Attractions)” at the prestigious Singapore Tourism Awards in 2016 for its role in adding to the vibrancy of

Singapore's tourism landscape. For more information, visit
