The hospital moved several times before settling down at [[Sepoy]] Lines along Outram Road in 1882. Modern history of the hospital began on 29 March 1926, with the opening of 800 beds. Today, only the Bowyer Block with its historically distinctive [[clock tower]] remains. The Bowyer Block is now home to [[Singapore General Hospital#The SGH Museum|the SGH Museum]]. In the 1990's, the hospital was rebuilt and restructured to modernise the organisation of the hospital. The campus now houses its current 8-block complex housing in-patient wards, [[ambulatory]] and support services, [[research]] [[laboratories]] and a [[postgraduate]] medical institute. ==The SGH Museum==
