Sustainable Singapore Gallery

“A Visit That Changed How I See Sustainability Before the visit, I honestly thought the trip to the Sustainable Singapore Gallery would be a rather routine one — just walking through exhibits and models. However, our team leader, Joanne Lim, had thoughtfully arranged for a guided tour in Mandarin, and that made all the difference. Our guide, Mr. Tan Yong Wei, completely transformed the experience. Through his engaging explanations, he managed to weave together the different exhibits, models, and porcelain sculptures into a meaningful story that traced Singapore’s sustainability journey — from its past efforts to its current actions and future vision. What stood out most was his genuine passion. It showed in the way he spoke, the examples he gave, and how he encouraged us to see sustainability not just as a concept, but as something alive and relevant to our everyday lives. His ability to bring learning to life through visuals and relatable actions made the experience truly memorable. I left the gallery with a much deeper appreciation of Singapore’s sustainability efforts — and of how much difference a passionate guide like Mr. Tan can make in bringing these ideas to life. I would strongly encourage more Singaporeans and tourists to visit the Sustainable Singapore Gallery. It is truly a trip worth taking — one that opens our eyes to the importance of sustainability and inspires us to play our part in protecting our planet. Through learning and small actions, we can all contribute to making our Mother Earth a greener, more sustainable home for future generations.”

“I truly enjoyed my visit to this gallery, it is an educational and informative experience. The exhibits are engaging, interactive, and eye-opening, covering topics such as Singapore's efforts in water conservation, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and urban planning. The gallery is air conditioned, quiet and well maintained. The exhibition starts in front of the entrance, where a model reservoir demonstrating how Marina Barrage function in flood alleviation and water storage. The gallery is located at the 1st floor at the Marina Barrage, wheelchair accessible and toilet available. Here you can get a it a good view of the Marina Barrage, or visit the expansive green roof is a serene, open space perfect for a picnic, relax and photography. How to Get Here: * Take the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) to Gardens by the Bay MRT Station (TE22). * Take Exit 1 and walk straight for about 5 minutes to reach the Barrage.”

“My wife had arranged a guided tour for our 9 year old daugther and was warmly greeted by a tall gentleman who is Mr Phillip Ng. He is very warm, passionate and informative tour guide. He is very patient with our questions as well. It was a truly engaging tour and all three of us learned alot about the engineering marvel of the Marina Barrage and how Singapore plans long term in its sustainabilty endeavours. Very grateful to have met Mr Phillip Ng and I wish him good health and the very best. Thank you so much for having us today. Highly recommended to all who is visiting the Marina Barrage.”
