Guide contents
Find the gallery at the former General Post Office
Use The Fullerton Hotel Singapore as your map destination. Raffles Place is the nearby MRT station. From the hotel entrance, ask for The Fullerton Heritage Gallery. The Fullerton Bay Hotel uses a separate address on Collyer Quay, so check which property your map has selected.
The former Fullerton Building housed the General Post Office and several other organisations. It was completed in 1928 and later became a hotel. The National Heritage Board lists it as a National Monument.
What to look for in the gallery
Start with the postal objects. The hotel highlights its red pillar box and personal accounts of people connected with the precinct. For children, a simple way into the story is to ask how a letter used to move from a street postbox to its destination.
Then look at the building itself. The gallery puts everyday tasks such as sending mail in the context of a building that once housed public offices. If you are short on time, choose a few objects to look at closely before continuing to the waterfront.
Gallery visit or guided monument tour?
The gallery has its own published visiting hours. The guided monument tour operates separately, with specified times and advance registration through the concierge. The hotel distinguishes sessions that are for staying guests from sessions open to city guests, so check eligibility before choosing a slot.
You can visit the gallery as part of a walk around the river mouth and Fullerton Square. If you are also visiting Clifford Pier, set a separate pin for 80 Collyer Quay and check access to that venue independently.
