National Gallery Singapore houses the world's largest public collection of modern Southeast Asian and Singaporean art, with over 9,000 works from the 19th century to today. It occupies two restored national monuments in the Civic District — the former Supreme Court Building (1939) and City Hall (1929) — linked by bridges and a striking latticed canopy roof. The gallery opened in 2015 and anchors Singapore's museum precinct facing the Padang.
