HDB Gallery - From slums to vibrant towns

HDB Gallery is finally open to the public again!

The HDB Gallery, which has literally been under wraps since May 2009 when it was closed for complete revamp, was unveiled yesterday by Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman, Parliamentary Secretary for National Development.

Staff and public can now enjoy the exciting new offerings of the HDB Gallery which showcases the evolution of public housing from its humble beginnings to the vibrant towns of today. Through its multi-sensory self-exploratory exhibits in six themed zones, the Gallery offers visitors a self-discovery experience of Singapore's public housing story - From Slums to Vibrant Towns.

Visitors can learn about public housing experiences through life-size holograms and a panoramic 360-degree theatre -- both firsts for any gallery in Singapore. And be enthralled by the 'actors' that come 'alive' at the touch of a button to explain various topics like HDB's home ownership programme.

The gallery is open from Mondays to Fridays, 8.30 am to 5.00 pm, and 8.30 am to 12.30 pm on Saturdays, except Public Holidays. Admission is free, So, do find the time to visit our revamped HDB Gallery and get on board the public housing journey!
