Known forcontemporary artgalleriescolonial barracksarts district
A cluster of converted British colonial barracks now housing around a dozen contemporary art galleries representing international and regional artists, Gillman Barracks is Singapore's most serious destination for contemporary art outside of a museum. Galleries like Sullivan+Strumpf and Sundaram Tagore show genuinely ambitious work. Entry to all galleries is free; openings on the first Thursday of each month draw a knowledgeable crowd. Some galleries close on Mondays and Tuesdays, so check ahead.
