The Gallery Benches
As part of its 10th anniversary, National Gallery Singapore introduces The Gallery Benches – a citywide initiative that brings the Gallery into everyday public spaces across Singapore. Reimagining its iconic two-block logo – rooted in the architecture of the former Supreme Court and City Hall – as functional benches, the initiative places ten benches across the city, inviting people to sit, gather and connect. 

Batik Art Cart

Through the National Gallery Singapore's Batik Making Travelling Art Cart, learn about the process in batik painting as well as artworks by Southeast Asian artists Sarkasi Said and Jaafar Latiff.
