The Singapore Art Museum (SAM, Chinese: 新加坡美术馆;
pinyin: Xīnjiāpō Měishùguǎn) contains the national art collection of Singapore.
It has a collection of 7,750 pieces of Singaporean and Southeast Asian modern
and contemporary art, and has an expanding collection of new Asian and
international contemporary art.
Situated in the centre of Singapore’s major shopping
district and Waterloo Street Arts Belt, SAM is located alongside Singapore’s
major performing arts and visual arts institutions: such as the Nanyang Academy
of Fine Art, LaSalle College of the Arts, the Stamford Arts Centre, the Selegie
Arts Centre, Singapore Calligraphy Centre, YMS Arts Centre, Dance Ensemble
Singapore, Sculpture Square and Action Theatre as well as the School of the
Arts: an institution that offers an integrated arts and academic curriculum for
youths aged 13 to 18 years of age.
SAM is accessible by major public transportation systems
such as the public buses, the MRT lines and cab services.[citation needed] Bras
Basah MRT Station, along the new Circle Line, is next to SAM.
