Photos of The Arts House

The Old Parliament House Art House was built in 1827 and is the oldest building in Singapore. The Parliament of Singapore has been relocated to the nearby Parliament Square No. 1, and the old Parliament Building has been transformed into an "art house" integrating various modern visual arts, film, music, dance and drama performances. It has a variety of art facilities including a small cinema, a concert hall, a black box theater, a rehearsal space, a reception room, a visual arts exhibition hall, and a constitutional history exhibition hall. You can also learn about the original appearance of the Capitol Building and many famous historical figures who were active here. The seats in the parliament hall are marked with the names of officials, the most popular of which is the seat of Lee Kuan Yew; the bronze statue erected outside the national building is a gift from King Rama V of Thailand in 1871.
