Singapore Art Museum, National art museum in Bras Basah, Singapore
The Singapore Art Museum spans over 3,000 square meters in a former industrial warehouse, providing spaces for large art installations and community gatherings.
The museum building, dating back to 1955, served as Saint Joseph's Institution before undergoing a renovation costing 30 million Singapore dollars in 1995.
The institution maintains one of the largest public collections of contemporary Southeast Asian artworks, representing multiple artistic perspectives and regional traditions.
The museum currently operates from its temporary location at Tanjong Pagar Distripark while the main building undergoes preservation work until 2026.
Former school classrooms were transformed into gallery spaces by removing walls, while the original chapel now functions as an exhibition area.
