Singapore Pinacothèque de Paris

The Singapore Pinacothèque de Paris occupied a 5,500-square-meter space across three floors in a 1926 building that formerly served as British Army barracks.

Opening in May 2015 as the first international expansion of Paris's Pinacothèque, the museum operated in a renovated colonial structure until April 2016.

The museum presented notable exhibitions including 'The Myth of Cleopatra' and 'Pressionism: Graffiti Masterpieces on Canvas' during its brief operational period.

The Singapore Tourism Board partially funded the US$24 million renovation project that transformed Fort Canning Centre into an arts complex with shops and restaurants.

Financial challenges led to the museum's closure after less than one year, triggering legal disputes with exhibition organizers and affecting commercial tenants.
