The take
The biggest public collection of Southeast Asian modern art, in the old Supreme Court and City Hall. It fills an afternoon on its own, so save the Gardens by the Bay conservatories for another day. Finish on the roof decks, the calmest view in the building.

What can I bring into National Gallery Singapore?
Bring a light layer, because the galleries are climate-controlled. Lockers on Basement 1 take umbrellas, large bags and bulky items, and strollers are welcome in the galleries. Food and drink, bottled water included, aren't allowed in the galleries, so eat at the restaurants and bars inside. There's no dress code, and bags may be inspected at the door.
