Launched as the museum’s SG60 gift to the nation, this stunning new permanent exhibition transforms the iconic Shaw Foundation Glass Rotunda into a 700-year time portal. Expect to see animated seascapes, mythical creatures, and immersive dioramas that bring Singapore’s maritime history to life.

4. Singapop! 60 Years of Singapore Pop Culture

Grew up on kaya toast, Phua Chu Kang, and the bunch of old but gold NDP songs you still secretly know by heart? SingaPop! is your cultural time capsule come to life! Curated by homegrown musician Dick Lee, this immersive exhibition at the ArtScience Museum celebrates six decades of Singapore’s pop culture, from kopi-shop slang and vintage fashion to film, music, and everyday magic.

Told through five vibrant chapters with fun names like ‘SingaWho?’ and ‘Rojakland’, SingaPop! captures the unique blend of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian and other influences that shaped our shared identity — what Dick Lee affectionately calls the “rojak spirit.” It’s a love letter to the people, places, and pop moments that defined us and made us uniquely Singaporean.

Expect all the nostalgia: old-school hawker centre vibes, iconic movie posters, throwback National Day Parade moments, and enough retro music to make you want to dance. It’s joyful, proud and a little emotional, in the best way!

Back in full bloom just in time for SG60, Orchid Extravaganza is the Gardens by the Bay floral display that pays tribute to Singapore’s heritage with a very pretty twist. Think towering orchid-covered Supertrees (the tallest at 6.5m!), dreamy recreations of Peranakan kitchens and pintu pagar doors, plus life-sized nods to local legends like Cultural Medallion recipient Lee Hock Moh and his iconic orchid art.

It’s part fashion exhibit, part cultural love letter, and completely camera-ready. From intricately carved teak to kaleidoscopic batik prints, the display weaves through Peranakan architecture, jewellery, and spice-scented nostalgia, all illustrated via a plethora of orchids in full technicolour bloom.
