The Cathay Gallery

15 Apr 2023

Take a nostalgic journey through the storied history of Cathay Organisation, a pioneer of the film industry in Singapore, and their various business interests across Malaysia and Singapore from its founding in the 1930s till now.

The Cathay Gallery is a hidden gem tucked away on Level 2 of The Cathay retail mall, itself a historic landmark in Singapore. Situated just beyond the lifts on the extreme right of the building (facing from Handy Road), this quaint space is a treasure trove of historic information on the beginnings of film and movies in Singapore and the Cathay Organisation family’s contributions to the industry over the years.

Watch snippets of classic films from the 50s and 60s, learn about how the cinema seats have evolved over the years, the history of the iconic Cathay mall and enjoy the other interesting and nostalgic displays.
