    Possibly the oldest building in Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Bowyer block now hosts a museum detailing the past of SGH, a small cafeteria, several clinics and the staff gymnasium. Bowyer block also has a large carpark for staff and visitors to the hospital.

    This is where SGH museum is located. Old building with stories to tell. The grand old dame, the clock, is still ticking.
