Prior to this, SAM had been expected to reoccupy the space when redevelopment is completed in 2026.

SINGAPORE – The Singapore Art Museum will remain at Tanjong Pagar Distripark “in the near future”, with alternative plans being considered for its former home at the old St Joseph Institution building.

Mr Tong said SAM’s current temporary location at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, a container space along Keppel Harbour, has received positive feedback from visitors. The multiple delays and scant evidence of construction activity at the Old St Joseph Institution building in the city centre have fuelled speculation, with some positing that it could be taken over by the Asian Civilisations Museum, the Peranakan Museum, the new University of the Arts Singapore, or even be the site for a new museum – the most outlandish suggestion so far being a museum for Artificial Intelligence.
