About National Gallery Singapore
In the Civic District of Singapore, National Gallery Singapore serves as both a public art museum and a national museum, and its collection of more than 9,000 artworks covers art made in Singapore and Southeast Asia from the 19th century onward. It fills the former Supreme Court building and the former City Hall, both national monuments, which face the Padang and are linked by bridges and by a new basement level. Together they offer 64,000 square meters (690,000 sq ft) of floor area, which makes it Singapore's largest visual arts venue and its largest museum. Development cost approximately S$532 million.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong spoke of a plan to turn the two buildings into a national gallery during his National Day Rally speech on August 21, 2005. A two-stage design competition launched on February 23, 2007 drew 111 entries from 29 countries. Studio Milou Singapore, working with CPG Consultants, received the commission to design and build the gallery in May 2008. Takenaka-Singapore Piling Joint Venture was named main contractor on December 21, 2010, work started in January 2011, and it opened its doors to the public on November 24, 2015.
Frank Dorrington Ward of the Public Works Department designed the former Supreme Court, declared open on August 3, 1939, where the Grand Hotel de l'Europe, demolished in 1936, once stood. A central rotunda with a dome, which originally housed a circular law library, is surrounded by four blocks of offices and courtrooms. City Hall, built between 1926 and 1929 as the Municipal Building and designed by A. Gordon and S. D. Meadows, has a front facade with 18 three-story-high Corinthian columns facing the Padang.
