Find the gallery from Tanglin Gate

What to look for inside
CDL describes the building as a zero-energy gallery and uses the space for exhibitions on nature and sustainability. With children, choose one display and ask what problem it describes, what example it gives and what action follows. Check the current programme to see which exhibits are on during your visit.
Pair it with the Heritage Museum
The museum and gallery are close together but have different monthly closures. NParks lists the museum as closed on the last Monday and the gallery on the last Tuesday. Check both before planning a combined trip.
