The Arts House (formerly the Old Parliament House, Parliament House and the Assembly House), is a multi-disciplinary arts venue in the Civic District of Singapore. The venue plays host to art exhibitions and concerts. Built in 1827, the Old Parliament House is the oldest government building and perhaps the oldest surviving building in Singapore. The building was home to the Parliament of Singapore from 1965 to 1999, when it moved to an adjacent new building.
