Located at the corner of the River Valley Road, on Fort Canning Park, The Hill Street Building Museum was originally built for the British Police Force. With the passage of time, the house was converted to the National Archives in which investigations and persecutions took place in the basement during the Japanese occupation.

In the later years the building was renovated and named Hill Street Building Museum. It is now works as the center for Ministry of Information, Communications and Arts as well as the National Arts Council. Within the building are six galleries, which showcase different forms of art not only from Singapore but also of Southeast Asia and Europe.
