The building
Two former colonial civic buildings — the old Supreme Court and City Hall — connected by a striking modern canopy roof, one of the more architecturally ambitious museum conversions in the region.
The collection
The largest public collection of Southeast Asian art in the world, tracing the region's modern art history alongside Singapore's own.
Practical notes
Large enough to need a half-day for a proper visit — the rooftop bar and restaurant are worth combining with a late-afternoon visit for the view over the Padang.
