Get an Insta-worthy slice of local heritage on the streets!
You don’t have to go to a museum or an art gallery to learn more about Singapore’s history, culture and art. Our streets are embellished with wall murals that tell beautiful stories of Singapore. Tucked away in historic districts like Chinatown and Little India, the murals trace out unique trails for a budget-friendly romantic date or day out with friends and family!
We’ve picked out seven of our favourite spots in Singapore to find gorgeous street art – all you have to do is get your camera ready, strap on your walking shoes, and strike your best pose for the ‘gram.

4. Lion’s Home for the Elders, Bishan
The Lion’s Home for the Elders has been showering the elders our community with love since 1980, so it makes perfect sense that it should be decked out in images of our traditional communities. Community was what local artist Belinda Low had in mind when she spruced up the welfare home with a gorgeous two-storey high mural. We can totally see the Vincent van Gogh influences in her work! She gives us the iconic Dutch painter’s signature dreamy style with a Singapore flavour of old shophouses and streets. Look out for the little details like Chinese couplets and the peanuts carried on top of the kacang puteh seller’s head!
