Both the Supreme Court and City Hall, formerly known as the Municipal Building was designed by the British in the 1920s.These buildings have seen Lord Louis Mountbatten&#8217;s announcement of the surrender of the Japanese forces in 1945, the war crime trials of Japanese officers in 1946 and the swearing in of Singapore&#8217;s first prime minister and founding father Lee Kuan Yew&#8217;s swearing in 1959. Today, a time capsule containing newspapers and currency laid in 1937 sits beneath the foundation stone and is scheduled for opening in 3000.<\/p>\n<h3>National Gallery Singapore &#8211; An Architectural Delight<\/h3>\n<p>The monumental task of merging the 2 national monuments into an art gallery was awarded to France\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.studiomilou.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Studio Milou Architecture<\/a> and Singaporean conservation specialists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpgcorp.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CPG Consultants<\/a>. The idea was to preserve the raw historical characters of both buildings while re-purposing the spaces to showcase artworks from the National Collection.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/Singapore\/National+Gallery+Singapore+2.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=750&amp;h=400&amp;fit=min&amp;q=60\" class=\"\" width=\"761\" height=\"428\" alt=\"National Gallery Singapore\" style=\"width: 761px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the harmonious design by the two firms, the National Gallery Singapore retains a sense of opulence without much artificial grandeur and flaunts the air of an old structure with modern mannerism. The building preserves original details including tiled floors, windows with portico mouldings and canted timber ceilings, while new elements with a limited colour palette have been added to help unify the 64,000 square metres of gallery. The original rooms such as the Courtroom, and the City Chamber, bearing notes of history have been preserved with minimal enhancements. Walkways crisscross an atrium in the centre of the site to connect galleries on either side, while a basement concourse unites the two buildings from below. The Gallery has 8 floors with 20 exhibition spaces in the Supreme Court and 10 in the City Hall.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"Heading2\" style=\"font-size:24px; font-weight:bold; \" id=\"nationalgallerysingapore2\">National Gallery Singapore Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>We highly recommend purchasing your tickets online so as to earn a few online discounts which cannot be availed at the ticket counter.

Having the National Gallery is just so awesome. The place is very nice and modern. There are so many things on display and exhibit. It is located near the metro thus it is easy to locate. The rooftop also has nice view of the Marina Bay Sands. The Art Gallery is amazing! I would love to visit this again!<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; Jasper J, TripAdvisor, June 2018<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body_text\">I visited so many times the national gallery; is one of the most beautifully constructed buildings; you can find so much knowledge about the history of Singapore; about art; it\u2019s one of the most relaxing places and has so many coffee places.
