Bao Lin CJanuary 2, 2016Former military barracks now a contemporary art precinct w galleries & NTU Centre for Contemporary Art. Grab cake & coffee at Red Baron. Art After Dark open houses held bi-monthly on Friday nights.
Fatah TahirJuly 21, 2013Former military barracks turned into an Art gallery! Great access to and easy location to get taxis when you leave!
Charz MendozaSeptember 30, 2015First time here and I like the overall concept: A huge area filled with barracks each containing galleries for the occasional art appreciation.
Bokyung ParkOctober 7, 2017The idea that turn the barracks into an art gallery deserve praise. However, this place is not vibrant than I thought, and more contents have to developed since not much was going on there.
Good place for art! Quite a number of exhibition halls to explore. Mostly free entrance. A couple of cafes here too.
One of Singapore's Hidden treasures. Exhibits will be different every time you visit. That is if you are into arts, designs and crafts.- Kars AlfrinkAugust 17, 2016Galleries are a mixed bag but shows are constantly changing so there's bound to be something interesting on. Worth a visit for the site and scenery alone.
- This is a hidden gem, focusing on the visual arts, set in an unusual location surrounded by bits of rainforest.
Travel + LeisureMarch 7, 2014This is one of Singapore’s most unusual contemporary art spaces; it spotlights marquee names from around the world (Chinese artist Ai Weiwei; Australian sculptor Sam Leach).
Val PilchJune 6, 2015Surprise surprise ... art district in Singapore. Great undertaking, fun area, interesting art.
Jolanda H.July 7, 2013Nice buildings with very expensive art. But nice to visit them, drink a great cocktail at the naked Fin afterwards.
Elizabeth LeeMarch 1, 2016Check out the various art galleries here and get your fuel at naked finn - best lobster roll ever!
Come visit during their seasonal events like Art Day Out!
- Ahn BustamanteSeptember 26, 2014A bit far from the MRT but they have interesting exhibits. Visits always worthwhile.

"The lobster roll & truffle fries were light, filling, & tasty. It's a minimalist restaurant with a great staff. Really relaxing."

"We liked everything (that we ordered). Try the New Zealand Black Mussels, the Beef Tenderloin with Yorkshire pudding, and if you're lucky, the not-on-regular-menu Pork Cheeks."
Siew - 7.7
"Beef fries are soooo good! Dog friendly outside!"
