There’s a new kid on the block! Or rather, a not-so-new kid given a new lease of life. No. 8 Queen Street, once known as the Catholic Hgh School, is now the newest wing of adjacent Singapore Art Museum. This new wing will be a centre for contemporary art. Join ordinary guy as he traces the history of the former Catholic High School.

Another old building has morphed at No.8 Queen Street – an old building that onced served as Catholic High School. When the school was relocated to Bishan, the former school building was left vacant except for a temporary occupation by Kim Yan Methodist Church. Later, the building was slated to become an extension to the present S.A.M. (Singapore Art Museum – formerly St Joseph’s Institution). The building was given a facelift and a new lease of life.
