NTU Museum was invited to introduce the campus to participating students in the GEM Trailblazer Summer 2025 on a guided Campus Art Trail (CAT) walk to learn a little about the art, architecture and history of the campus.

Guided by NTU Museum staff, the students started their hour-long CAT Walk from North Spine Plaza where they had a look at murals, sculptures and digital works in NTU Museum's art collection. Along the way, they were given tips and recommendations to hidden spots around the NTU Campus as they made their way towards the South Spine to see iconic architecture such as Wee Cho Yaw Plaza and UOB Innovation Hub. The tour ended at the lawn of the Chinese Heritage Centre, the oldest building on campus and a national monument to boot.

Thank you to the OGEM team for collaborating with us and all the participants who explored NTU with us, we hope you learned some new interesting facts about the campus and come back for more in future!

If you are interested to collaborate with NTU Museum on CAT Walks, please contact us for more information.
