Before you go
How often does the projection show run at Singapore City Gallery?
The three-minute projection mapping show runs every 20 minutes, starting on the hour, and covers Singapore's urban planning strategies and key landmarks. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, so arrive with a few minutes to spare for the last show before closing. We'd see it after the city model, not before.

Is Singapore City Gallery step-free for wheelchairs and strollers?
The URA says the gallery is a barrier-free environment with step-free access and accessible facilities. That suits a stroller or a wheelchair. The gallery sits in The URA Centre at 45 Maxwell Road, and a taxi can set down on Kadayanallur Street, beside Maxwell Food Centre.

Do I need to book Singapore City Gallery?
Only large groups do: a group of more than 20 visitors must book a time slot in advance, while smaller parties can walk in during opening hours. Admission is Monday to Saturday, and Maxwell Food Centre next door is the lunch stop afterwards.
