Ellisa & Wai Yin were at The Arts House.



The Arts House ( the Old Parliament House)
Located behind of the Victoria Theatre, the Old Parliament House was built in 1827 by Coleman and was the oldest surviving government building here. It was served as the Parliament House from 1965 to 1999 before being converted into an art gallery to support local arts.

Ellisa was at the Asian Civilisations Museum.

Asian Civilization Museum
Completed in 1865 as a courthouse, it was later being used as various government offices due to relocation of the court. In 1989 it was converted into a museum known as Empress Place Museum which served the public for 6 years, before transformed into the present museum.

Shu Lin was at the Old Supreme Court.


Old Supreme Court Building
Built in 1939 and designed by Frank Dorrington Ward, it is the last neo-classical colonial building built in Singapore. The facade of the building was remarkable for its Corinthian columns, huge dome and lively sculptures located at the centre of the court. Take time to appreciate the sculptures, which were crafted by the Milanese Sculptor Cavalieri Rudolfo Nolli, they were great.
