Former 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.

First time here and I like the overall concept: A huge area filled with barracks each containing galleries for the occasional art appreciation.

Former military barracks turned into an Art gallery ! Great access to and easy location to get taxis when you leave!

built in 1936 for the British Army, was a key WWII site. After the war, was handed over to the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) in 1971 by $1; used for military training until it was vacated in the 1990s.

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.

This 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).

Galleries 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.

Bokyung Park

The 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.

This is a hidden gem , focusing on the visual arts , set in an unusual location surrounded by bits of rainforest.

Beautiful artisan ice-cream and freshly made waffles. Delicious. One of our kids dropped their scoop of ice-cream and the staff replaced it for free. Totally unexpected and very thankful. Will be back - Imad B
