Fort Canning Centre, Singapore

Fort Canning Centre (9 July 2006)


Fort Canning Centre is the name given to the imposing 65-year old British Army barracks that occupied a slope on Fort Canning. The building was built in the 1920s to protect British interests in the region. Today it is restored and used as home of the Singapore Dance Theatre, functioning as a venue for major cultural events. It is also the home for Singapore's modern performing arts companies including Singapore Dance Theatre and Theatreworks. Within Fort Canning Centre is the 100-seat Black Box theatre. At time of writing, it is occupied by the Singapore Pinacothèque de Paris.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
