National Gallery Singapore
Southeast Asian art museum in the restored former Supreme Court and City Hall at 1 St Andrew’s Road, joined under studioMilou’s Padang Atrium veil. Typical hours run daily 10:00 to 19:00, last admission 18:30. General admission is free for Singapore citizens and permanent residents and S$20 for other nationalities; special-exhibition and All Access products post separately on nationalgallery.sg, with concession bands for children, seniors, and qualifying students. The UOB Southeast Asia Gallery has been under refresh, with works from the National Collection shown elsewhere in the building until a late-2027 reopening, so confirm which floors are open before you treat one wing as the whole visit. Odette sits in the Supreme Court Wing for travellers combining a civic afternoon with dinner. Enter on foot through the Padang Atrium, or by taxi via Coleman Street; the atrium door is not a vehicle drop. Formula 1 road closures regularly shut the Gallery carpark around race weekend, including early October 2026 dates posted on the visitor page. Pair with a Padang walk when the weather allows. Buy tickets online or at the kiosks. Stand on a link bridge in the free atrium before you commit the rest of the afternoon to ticketed floors. City Hall MRT is the clean arrival. Weekday mornings stay calmer than Singapore Art Week and National Day weekends. Confirm last-admission time on the visitor page if you are arriving after a late lunch.

While you're there
St Andrew’s Road puts the Padang and civic buildings outside the door. Enter via the Padang Atrium for the veil, or Coleman Street for taxi drop-off. Lunch or dinner at Odette inside the Gallery, and keep Labyrinth at Esplanade for another bayfront night. Confirm which Supreme Court Wing floors are open during the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery refresh.
Pro Tip: Stand on a Padang Atrium link bridge for ten minutes before you buy a ticket; the free void is the room study, and weekend exhibition queues feel shorter once you have already arrived.
