Singapore Art Museum
Transformed from a 19th-century mission school to a dynamic institution of Southeast Asian contemporary art, Singapore Art Museum's state-of-the-art galleries feature paintings, sculptures and installations drawn from the museum's 5,500 strong permanent collection. The museum also has touring 'blockbuster' shows like the Masterpieces from the Guggenheim Museum and Leonardo da Vinci: Scientist, Inventor, Artist. Since its opening, the Singapore Art Museum has been stimulating the cultural environment of Singapore and continues to do so with provocative and breathtaking shows.

The Singapore Art Museum is a National Museum and an institution of the National Heritage Board.
