Istana Heritage Gallery - 35 Orchard Rd

Not much too see compare to other heritage place.

Pretty nice, but i was expecting more. Download the 'Istana garden walk' app before going... there are QR codes at various points which can be scanned using the app and know more about pace.

Visited the Gallery today. The place was not as big as I imagined but it was not cramped. It is a good place to go to if you want to know it's history. The chronicles are quite systematic. The pictures and images are good. Managed to recall all pass Presidents. The 2 staff who are on duty today were very efficient. The only thing need to improve is maybe should have more exhibits. And there is a park where you can have a stroll. Only need more shades and seats. There is also an Art Cafe where you can enjoy some live art work. I walked pass a Bistro too bit did not check it out.

Nice place to know the history of the government system in Singapore

The gallery itself isn't big. But they are store and display many main point in history of Singapore and the national palace of Singapore itself. The staffs is friendly, i even got many presentation and guide from them. They even tell me about how the palace will open for public in every public holiday/national holiday, although i already know and just hear it to test their kindess and knowledge(please forgive me ?). They are kind and offer me to take photo in one spot that make a replica for one of the palace most famous spot (the one public can't enter because it just for other countries official guests), but im too embarrassed to take a photo there. Oh i got a bookmark that stamped by national sign of Singapore's presidency emblem. And i was the one who stamp it from the stamp machine directly. What an amazing experience ! Thanks for the staff in there, really make my nerd soul happy and went insane inside ???.

Hi there, I would like to conduct an excursion to the Istana Heritage Gallery for my Seniors from a Senior Activity Centre. Can someone contact me with the information that I require to set this outing? Thank you, Shan 9786116

Very nice surroundings. Chanced upon this while walking in the vicinity and there are volunteer guides at the gallery. Very friendly and informative. Opened for 2 years but little known venue hidden among the bushes. State visit gifts from other countries are on display..Seasonal, these collections will be changed. Nice to check it out if you are around de area. There are photo opportunity spots with Istana restricted area rooms as backdrop. At the end of your walk, you can also take home a state imprint (self pressed) bookmark. Love it! Spend about 20 minutes here.

Good place to learn Singaporean history. You will be able to see some gifts from foreign countries. They are worth seeing. It’s small but enough displays. It’s free admission. Excellent volunteer guide supports you.
