Singapore project
In 2013, the Singapore government announced the opening of Singapore Pinacothèque de Paris, a dependence of the museum that would bring Old Masters and Modern art exhibitions to the city. The new museum was planned to be located in a “pop-up” space, during renovations to its eventual home, the historic Fort Canning building in the arts district.[5] The museum opened in May 2015 and closed in April the next year, citing "weaker than expected visitorship and other business and financial challenges".[6][7]
