Singapore Botanic Gardens is the only tropical garden honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It ranks as one of Asia's top park attractions and was founded in 1859.
The Botanical Art Gallery is housed in a repurposed colonial bungalow which opened its doors in 2021. A permanent display of historical botanical illustrations from the garden’s archives are shown on the upper floor and a rotating exhibition of contemporary botanical artworks are on display in two gallery rooms on the ground floor.
