Singapore Art Museum (SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark)

Singapore Art Museum (SAM) at Tanjong Pagar Distripark is the museum's temporary venue in Bukit Merah's Tanjong Pagar sub-zone at 39 Keppel Road. Originally opened in 1996 in the former Saint Joseph's Institution building at Bras Basah, SAM is Singapore's first art museum dedicated to contemporary art with a focus on Singapore and Southeast Asia. The Distripark space opened in January 2022 during redevelopment of its heritage buildings and presents rotating exhibitions in converted warehouse galleries.

Visitors can expect contemporary art exhibitions housed in converted warehouse spaces within the industrial Tanjong Pagar Distripark complex. The galleries feature large, open-plan interiors with rotating exhibitions of Singaporean and Southeast Asian contemporary art, including installations, video, painting and sculpture. Visitors can explore multiple gallery levels, join guided tours, attend public programmes and workshops, and view curated thematic shows. The setting is an urban waterfront industrial building adapted for museum use.
