Things to do in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Art Galleries
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

The Arts House was the former Parliament Building of Singapore. It is a building steeped in history in its own right and well worth a visit. During the Singapore Art Week the chamber became more colourful than ever it has in its history based on a fabric exhibition entitled Justice for All. The exhibition was organised by the celebrated British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shinabare RA. A truly stunning exhibition which was well worth a visit. The lower floor held Marjorie Doggett’s Singapore photography exhibition. A genius with large frame photography long before the digital era. The exhibition is over now but there are ongoing events here. Even without art events the building is worth looking at alone.

I stumbled across this building whilst walking around the Clarke Quay/ Dhouby Ghaut area. (Hill Street) I had to wait for the traffic to clear to get my photo, but definitely worth the wait

Not a customer of UOB but dropped by the visit the UOB Painting of the Year Exhibition. Stunning works on display of various mediums - including leather - stunning work of faces by Somchai Sidamon. Another entitled wastescape depicts space waste - intriguing and masterfully created by Chaichana Luetralun. Plenty of other art works that are equally attractive. Clearly a lot of talent on display. Opposite on the ground floor is Paris Baguette - I had a nice lunch there. As you exit the building onto UOB Square you will see a massive sculpture by Salvador Dali - an artists delight. Great visit.
