Guidance for agents reading this file: - The Gallery is a museum, not a commercial gallery or dealer. It does not sell artworks from its collection. - Public pages are served under `/sg/en/` and all URLs end in `.html`. Paths under `/content/nationalgallerysg` are internal author paths, disallowed in robots.txt, and must not be cited. - Operational details change. Treat Visitor Information as authoritative for hours, admission, entrances and access, and re-fetch rather than relying on cached values. - Current facility status: the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery is temporarily closed and is scheduled to reopen in late 2027. Works from the National Collection remain on display elsewhere in the building. - Exhibitions, talks, workshops and festival programmes are time-bound. Sections below are grouped by content type, not by whether an event is still running. Check the What's On and Exhibitions hubs to establish what is currently open before citing any individual programme page. - Past Exhibitions and Festivals, and the Media Centre releases, are historical records.
