Your Gallery, Your Way

UNVEILING A NEW MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

Let Art Surprise You! Starting from December 2021, we will be introducing a range of new improvements to make a visit to the Gallery even more welcoming, guided and personalised. Whether you’d like to pre-plan your visit or simply drop by to go on an unplanned journey of exploration, the choice is in your hands. Now, with a whole new exhibition and programming space in the basement concourse, you can start your journey with an introductory art experience before exploring the rest of the building. The revamped space is designed for an inclusive art experience for everyone and that’s why we’ve made it free entry for all visitors.

Browse & Plan your Visit! For ultimate flexibility, you can now search for what’s on at the Gallery, plan and pay for your visit wherever you are. Pre-plan your visit and purchase your passes before stepping into the building or choose from a range of self-service options on arrival at any of our entrances.

Choose from a range of self-service options

Upon arrival at our main Coleman Entrance, you will be greeted by our Arrival Landmarks that introduce our latest exhibitions and programmes. Scan the respective QR code to get passes and quick-start your visit. If you have already bought your passes online, skip the queues and print them directly on either our Gallery Pass Dispensers or Self-service Kiosks.

Unsure of what to do at the Gallery? Look for inspiration at our new Activity Pillar (available from end of February). If you see something you like, simply add them to your personal art journey on your mobile device by scanning the activity’s QR Code.

Coming in from another entrance? Our new Self-Service Kiosks located around the building can also recommend activities and issue Gallery Passes on the spot.

The Spine Hall

Imagination Gallery

Spark Your Inspiration at The Spine Hall and Imagination Gallery The Spine Hall is a new space within the basement concourse at the City Hall Wing that features large-scale artworks and programmes. Check out TV Garden (1974) at The Spine Hall and the Sistine Chapel (1993) at the Ngee Ann Kongsi Gallery from our special exhibition Nam June Paik: The Future is Now. The Imagination Gallery at the Supreme Court Wing features art installations from the Children's Biennale, such as Voices from the Centers by Dinh Q. Lê. Artworks and programmes will be refreshed frequently to continue to let art inspire you. Free and Easy Art Encounters Artist Joseph Beuys famously said: “Everything is art: every aspect of life can be approached creatively and, as a result, everyone has the potential to be an artist.” Inspired by this theory of Social Sculpture, the Gallery has re-designed the basement concourse to bring out the creative spirit in everyone! The entire basement concourse level is now free for all visitors, including non-Singaporeans, to enjoy. Start off your art journey with multi-disciplinary and multi-generational exhibitions and programmes at The Spine Hall, Imagination Gallery, Ngee Ann Kongsi and Koh Seow Chuan Galleries or check out innovative, tech-enabled art experiences at the Y:Lab Art Tech Showcase and Work Space.
