The National Art Gallery, Singapore (working title) is a new visual arts institution which will contribute to building Singapore as a regional and international hub for visual arts. It will focus on
the display, appreciation, promotion, research and study of Southeast Asian and Singaporean art,
as well as play host to international art exhibitions.
Situated in the heart of the Civic District, the City Hall and adjacent former Supreme Court building - two important heritage buildings symbolic of Singapore’s nationhood - will be converted to house this exciting new visual arts venue, and is anticipated to be completed by 2013. The
National Art Gallery will be a civic and creative space, established for the enrichment, enjoyment and engagement of Singapore residents and visitors from all over the world.
The National Art Gallery is a subsidiary of the National Heritage Board.
