Built in 1939, the Supreme Court’s Corinthian columns, classic design, and spacious interiors featuring murals by Italian artist, Cavalieri Rodolfo Nolli, make it one of the finest buildings ever built during the British Rule of Singapore.
Beside the Supreme Court stands City Hall, built in 1929 and the site of the Japanese surrender to Lord Mountbatten in 1945 during World War II.
Visitors are welcome to tour the premises and attend all open court hearings unless otherwise ordered. Appropriate attire is required (no shorts, singlets or slippers). Photographic and video equipment are not allowed on the premises and other electronic equipment such as mobile phones and pagers must be turned off or switched to silent mode.
Permanent exhibits on the history of the Courts grace the ground floor of the Supreme Court. A multi-media gallery with corporate video screenings and interactive electronic information kiosks also provide insights into the workings of the Courts. Don't forget to pick up a copy of the "Guide to Supreme Court, Singapore".
