Art Retreat

Art Retreat is the first private museum in Singapore showcasing an extensive collection of modern European and Asian artworks created by renowned artists.

The museum was founded in 2003 by Indonesian collector, Kwee Swie Teng, who wanted to share his incredible collection to the rest of the world while promoting visual arts as an important cultural resource and making it accessible to the public and collectors.

Located at the sprawling Ubi Industrial Estate, the museum is made up of three major areas: a Main Gallery, the Wu Guanzhong Gallery, and the Collection. The Main Gallery is an exhibit area created out of three warehouses. It serves as a venue for travelling exhibitions from local, regional, and international artists; specially curated by art experts. The Main Gallery has featured exhibitions by Siew Hock Meng, Affandi, Bonnet, Sudjojono, Lee Man Fong, and Indonesian artists.

Meanwhile, the Collection houses an impressive array of around 1,500 artworks accumulated over the last two decades. It features art from over 135 Singaporean, Chinese, Indonesian, and Singaporean artists. Modern Chinese art from the prominent octogenarian artist Wu Guanzhong are a popular attraction, plus works from Zao Wouki, Xu Beihong, Pan Yuliang, and many more are featured here, too. Art from famed Indo-European and European artists such as Walter Spies, Gerard Adolfs, Le Mayeur, Jean Baptiste Camilel Corot, and Jan Sluyters to name a few are on display as well.

Art Retreat is equipped with several elegant state-of-the-art facilities that are open for rental to art groups, corporations, businesses, and individuals. The exhibit hall’s high ceilings, excellent illumination, and clean white walls are perfect for shows with as many as 100 guests.
