The exhibition space at the New Art Museum Singapore is the largest in Southeast Asia, spanning an impressive 20,000 square feet. With soaring 5-meter-high ceilings, it provides a striking backdrop for large-scale artworks, enhancing the viewing experience. Designed by Kengo Kuma, the renowned architect behind the Tokyo Olympic Stadium and Singapore Founders’ Memorial, the museum seamlessly blends architecture with nature.
Kuma describes the entrance as a welcoming area under trees, symbolizing Singapore’s abundant nature. Visitors transition from the city’s hustle and bustle into a radiant world of art, illuminated by sunlight filtering through the foliage. This unique design creates an extraordinary environment for both art and nature lovers alike.
