National Gallery Singapore: Art Spaces

Right in the heart of the Civic district, National Gallery Singapore occupies the neoclassical City Hall and former Supreme Court, two buildings that have been focal points for many important events in the history of Singapore. In collaboration with Scala Arts and Heritage Publishers, this little book brings the reader on an architectural journey tracing the origins of the two national monuments through time, to where they stand today, as National Gallery Singapore, telling a story of competition, preservation and innovation.
