The multicolored windows of the MICA (Ministry of Information and the Arts) Building, located at the junction of River Valley Road and Hill Street near Clarke Quay. The building also houses Singapore’s National Arts Council, as well as a group of art galleries within its ARTrium space.
The building is a relic of the colonial era, opened in 1934 and built to house a police precinct. When it was first built, it was the largest government building in Singapore. Its design was intended to mirror many British buildings of its time, with balconies, columns, and a series of windows arranged in a neo-classical style. The building was renovated in 2000 for its present tenant.
