Singapore Art Museum (SAM)
The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) houses the national art collection of Singapore. It possesses an impressive collection of 7750 pieces of Singaporean and Southeast Asian Modern and Contemporary Art, and currently nurtures an expanding collection of New Asian and International Contemporary Art. It is one of the first art museums with international standard museum facilities and programmes in Southeast Asia and joins a league of new generation museums around the world with well-executed exhibitions and meaningful community outreach programmes.
The Fine Arts Museum project began with the restoration of the former St Joseph’s Institution building. At the same time, the appointment of an 11-member Fine Arts Museum Board was tasked to acquire works of art by notable painters from Southeast Asia and East Asia, and by upcoming potential artists from these regions for the benefit of the visual arts heritage of Singaporeans in centuries to come. The restoration work on the 140- year-old national monument took more than two years and a cost of $30million. It first opened its doors to the public as the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) on October 20 1995. As of August 2008, 8Qsam – the museum’s new contemporary wing – opened its doors to the public. Located near by the main museum building, 8Qsam is a contemporary art space where the public can directly experience the work and ideas of living artists in relation to its aesthetic and social context.
