Singapore Opens New National Gallery Tuesday Nov 24,2015

 

Singapore has opened its state-of-the-art National Gallery, home to the world's largest public collection of modern art from South East Asia.

The 64,000-sq-m (689,000-sq-ft) attraction has taken a decade to come to fruition and cost about £250m.

During the first two weeks of the gallery's opening, admission will be free from Tuesday Nov 24 to Dec 06,2015

 

 

The gallery is housed in the restored former British colonial-era Supreme Court and City Hall buildings.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who opened the gallery, said he hoped it would become "the pride of Singapore".

 

The aim behind the museum is to drive the city-state's wish to become a centre of culture and the arts
