Where Words Once Ruled — The Arts House

Once the beating heart of Singapore’s politics, now a sanctuary for creativity — The Arts House is a grand dame repurposed. Built in 1827, this neoclassical treasure near the Singapore River once hosted the nation’s first Parliament. Today, it pulses with poetry readings, indie films, and thought-provoking exhibitions. From marble columns to literary corners, every inch tells a story — of Singapore’s evolving soul. Step inside for a blend of history, heritage, and the arts all under one elegant roof. A must-visit for culture lovers seeking meaning beyond the modern skyline. #singaporeguide
