The Arts House Review

The surrounding houses together with it are the nicest street view of Singapore. Gallery is small with fine exbition. Got a few bars nearby. Worth a visit.

nice to take photo, restaurant black coffee not bad

Spent Sunday afternoon inside watching a Japanese movie selected by Singapore arts festival this year. Not mainstream kind of cinema but like the unique movie experience inside this elegant historical building.

.A place that encourages and ignite my sense of arts in various forms to make me feel and enjoy the place with fine food and wine!

Multi purpose arts centric venue in the civic district

Nice array of events and small exhibits. Convenient parking on Sundays at Paliament House car park.

Fantastic location in the heart of the city. The band (at least on Friday night) was excellent as you would expect from Timber. Drinks were suprising good although expensive. My only negative comment is that service is extremely slow - start ordering another drink as soon as your first arrives!

Had a very good experience attending Girton college , Cambridgd event at the Old Parliament House...

Good place to host an event. Attended one of the event there. Easy to locate

I went there to watch an arty movie (Killing of the sacred deer) which is distributed by local film company. Small but very well equipped place for movie. Definitely will go back to there for more movies!!!

This place was previously a Parliamentary hall, but has now been converted into an arts venue for people to hold exhibitions, fashion walks, etc - thus the name Arts House. It's a nice historic building, but as a tourist it's not a place I would swing by on the top of my priority list.

Artsy. Not too bad for a lazy afternoon beer across the river.

Well restored building with non mainstream exhibitions.

Wonderful service given by special needs service staff. Go support social enterprise

Very nice place and I love it when I see seriously.

They show some very interesting independent movies at the Screening Room

Located in a colonial architecture building. This place used to be an Old Parliament House. In front of the building, there is a bronze elephant statue which got from King Rama 5 of Thailand.

Love the decor of old colonial style inside the building.

A good place to visit on a rainy day. There are always interesting exhibitions on here here. Also there is a lot of information relating to this building time as Singapore's Parliament too.

Great place for art exhibitions, special events, movies screening and indie works.

It gives you a historical and heritage feel to this place.

Great place to take workshops/courses. Elegant building.

Gorgeous piece of history... Highly recommend a visit.

Access to the Arts house, or the old Parliament is free and for any tourist or local it's a place to visit. The moment you step into the building you feel like you are going back in time. The walls upstairs chart the history of the building and the decisions that where made that has created the Singapore we know and love.

One of the unique building in Singapore. It's architecture is interesting which is having a colonial era shade.

Good place to be here for a catch up with your friends and with the band playing. However, do take note to pick a table away from the stage if you want to enjoy your friend's company more than the band. Food wise was not bad, didn't really enjoy the buffalo wings. Beer variety was wide. Had a good night.

Went for a small seminar, interesting place to hold events

Timbre is a blast! Check out their app on Appstore and Playstore

Beautifully preserved building with history. Really love the wooden flooring. Neat displays of the key moments in Singapore history. Walk into the old parliament chamber and imagine what it must have been like. A must visit in my opinion.

Beautiful and elegant. Plenty of beautiful architecture to admire both inside and outside.

Lovely building hosting various festivals throughout the year

There are many goods and beautiful buildings around here.
The arts house opened in 2004 after renovating the old parliament building.
There is also a living room for galleries and concerts.

The area is very beautiful. Those who love old architecture will like the place.

This is a cultural treasure-place for events, the building is so reminiscent of tradition and core values of our rich heritage..

Performed here, attended concerts here and now an askmeanything dialogue. Place is great and should continue to be used for cultural bonding!

Great place for drinks and chilling out with friends. Relatively quiet place overlooking the Singapore river. Live outdoor band performances available nearby at Timbre

Been there for various cultural events. Great ambience!

Really pretty building and very well maintaoned. The arts council of singapore organises quite a few events here.

Lovely old building that's been converted into a arts space.

Completed in 1827, the former Parliament House was originally built as a residence for a Scottish merchant, John A. Maxwell. It served as a government office for the British administration and as a court-house, housing the Supreme Court until 1939. Designed by George D. Coleman, this Neo-Palladian building has been remodelled several times to its current Neoclassical look. It housed the Legislative Assembly after Singapore attained partial internal self-governance in 1955, and became the Parliament House following Singapore's independence in 1965.

This place is well worth a couple of hours to visit to appreciate the beautiful architecture and rich history that accompanied the Arts House for the past century.

Old colonial building converted into an arts gallery.

Although it is the old Parliament building, it is still so magnificent and moving!

The Old Parliament is where the first security guard I ever met in Singapore, Mr. Chia. He was so nice to share the history of the building.

A beautiful venue to see cultural events, intimate and charming.
