Full of useful information! This is the right way to open the National Gallery Singapore

🌸Although it does not have as many works of famous artists as European art galleries, it is a window to understand Southeast Asian art. It displays works of various Southeast Asian styles, as if you have walked into the world of Singapore and Southeast Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition, the building itself is magnificent and an important historical building. If you like art, it is well worth a visit. 📌Location 1 St Andrew's Road, Singapore 178957. Take the MRT to City Hall Station (EW13/NS25) and walk about 5 minutes to arrive. 🕘Opening hours 10:00-19:00 🎫Tickets The art gallery is free to enter, there is a free exhibition hall on B1, other permanent exhibitions require a fee of 20 SGD, and special exhibitions require a fee of 25 SGD. It is recommended to buy online in advance for discounts. Then go to the on-site tourist service center, give the QR code to the staff to exchange for a ticket, stick it on your body, and you can travel freely. It is recommended to stick it in a conspicuous place. I put it on my arm and was always asked by the staff [Shy][Em] 📣Guide English guided tours are available every day, while Chinese guided tours are only available on weekends. Each guided tour lasts about 1-1.5 hours. It is strongly recommended to go on weekends, as you can get to know a completely different art museum through the guided tour. 🔥Treasure of the museum (see Figure 4 for details) •Raden Saleh’s Boschbrand (Forest Fire) High Court Building, 3rd Floor, UOB Southeast Asia Gallery 2 •Georgette Chen’s Self Portrait DBS Singapore Gallery 1, Level 3, City Hall 🌈Tips 1. The art gallery is very large. It was converted from the former High Court and Singapore City Hall and has a history of more than 100 years. The building itself is a work of art. There is an exhibition hall in the gallery that is dedicated to introducing the history of the building. I was fortunate to hear the explanation of the volunteers at that time. 2. The museum has a total of 6 floors. If you want to see the exhibition, please set aside at least 3 hours. 3. There are more people at 10 am and 2 pm, and fewer people at 12 noon and after 4 pm. If you want to avoid the peak hours, you can choose these two time periods. 4. The temperature in the art museum is relatively low, so if you are afraid of the cold, it is recommended that you bring a thin coat. 5. There is a water dispenser B1 and lockers inside, which is very convenient. But you are not allowed to eat or drink in the exhibition hall🥤 6. Flash photography or videography is not allowed in the gallery. Selfie sticks and tripods are also not allowed. 7. There are volunteers in the art museum. If you have any questions, you can consult them. The old man at B1 can speak Chinese and is very enthusiastic [Surprising]. He even told me that there is a painting in the exhibition hall next to it which is the background picture of the new currency. 8. There are many restaurants and cafes inside the art museum. It is said that the Nyonya restaurant inside is a national treasure. Sisters who have eaten there, please share your experience and see if it is worth it. 9. Next to the art gallery is St. Andrew's Cathedral and Merlion Park, so you can stop by for a visit. Next to St. Andrew's Cathedral are shopping malls that locals also go to. You can have a meal here 🍚 and then go to the Merlion Park.
