National Gallery Singapore

This was an excellent museum housed in the former city hall and Supreme Court buildings. What we appreciated was the focus on the local artists which provided a lot more insight into their works, backgrounds and development over time. Themes were well organized and lots of good details and explanations. Some of the more controversial art due to content or nudity were behind door entrances. Nothing seemed very outlandish to me. Don’t overlook the design of the building itself especially the courtyard in between the two buildings. The enclosed space along with the diffused light made for a very nice spot to just take a break in between galleries. The rooftop was quite hot but also a nice place to take in views of the surrounding. There were some chairs surrounding an inflatable piece of art. Also on site were a couple of very nice restaurants including Odette and the National Kitchen by Violet Oon.
