Bencoolen MRT Station (DT21) is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Downtown Line located at the boundary of Rochor and Museum planning areas, Singapore. Located under Bencoolen Street, the station will serve the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, which is next to the station. This station is a five-minute walk to Dhoby Ghaut and Bras Basah stations.
Bencoolen station will be the deepest MRT station in Singapore at 43 m (141 ft) below ground when completed; the second deepest will be Promenade station.
The station is named after Bencoolen Street, which is in turn named after the city of Bencoolen (now Bengkulu, Sumatra, Indonesia).
As the station is located under Bencoolen Street, a portion of the Bencoolen Street is closed from Prinsep Link to Bras Basah Road from October 2011 to 10 Dec 2016.
