    Parliament meetings were held in the building until the new Parliament House (nearby) was completed. It is now refurbished as The Arts House. Source: Singapore Book of Records

    The place for temporary exibitions, I had the Leonardo Davincis earlier Mona Lisa in early January 2015, for 20 SGD and an Ipad included for the tour a bit pricey, expected something else ;-)

    Old colonial building with interesting art display and show. Its exhibition is quite good but the light is really bad.

    Enter the twilight zone. Settle all your phone calls before entering. StarHub's subscribers get no reception in here. Be prepared for irate friends who can't reach u.
