Get ready to travel back decades as you dive into the past to learn about the Central Buzz District’s rich art and history. Grab your headphones and tune into two unique Audio Tours, narrated by local artist Tim De Cotta alongside special guests. 

The Art Audio Tour takes you on an in-depth exploration of 11 iconic sculptures and art installations that span across various locations within the precinct. Visit Raffles Place Park and cast your gaze upon a series of striking pieces by homegrown talents Aw Tee Hong and Tan Wee Lit as you stroll through the viridescent lawn right outside the two MRT exits (Exit A and B). 

Wander out of the perimeter in the direction of the encompassing buildings to admire more stunning creations that grace their spaces, pieces by internationally recognised sculptors like Sir Anish Kapoor from Great Britain, Anthony Cragg from Germany, Jaume Plensa from Spain, and Ju Ming from Taiwan.
