The National Gallery Singapore is set to open at the end of the year after 10 long years in the making — but here's your chance to see what the historic building looks like before all the art arrives.
In the gallery's Naked Museum guided tour, Singaporeans will be able to turn back the clock and examine the painstakingly restored spaces of the former Supreme Court and City Hall buildings. Restored to their former glory and repurposed with contemporary design, the two buildings will be permanent homes to the DBS Singapore Gallery, UOB Southeast Asia Gallery and Keppel Centre for Art Education.
Another highlight of the tour will be the restored City Hall Chamber, where Imperial Japanese armed forces signed their Instrument of Surrender documents in 1945, and also where Singapore's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew was sworn in in 1959.
