👋 After a 9-year run, the Gallery’s first ever exhibition, “Siapa Nama Kamu? Art in Singapore since the 19th Century”, will be closing its doors. Featuring pieces from our National Collection, the show poses the question “Siapa Nama Kamu?” or “What is your name?”, inviting us to look at Singapore through its art. The show tells the rich and captivating history of the nation through the years, and it’s been incredible seeing the exhibition through your eyes. Visit one last time before we close on 1 December. 📍DBS Singapore Gallery 2 📸 @lioncityhyperbole @kerwinking @hi_jjace @josembarretto @lydiatirtaa @minsleychin @felicia_salim The first part of our new long-term exhibition on Singapore art opens on 2 December.
