Small Big Dreamers
Walk through the passageway connecting the Supreme Court and City Hall wings of the National Gallery Singapore and you cannot miss the hairy red wall.
It is the on-site interactive element of the museum's biennial children's festival Small Big Dreamers, which, for its second edition, has had to go mostly digital.
Book a time slot for a visit and kids can learn about still life drawing, inspired by Nanyang artist Georgette Chen's paintings of tropical fruits. Purchase an activity pack ($5), which comes with stickers and colour pencils.
There are also two interactive, non-touch games, using technology similar to the Kinect and Wii games which allow visitors to "colour" and "create" a painting using gestures and body movements. Watch how it works in our video at str.sg/JLMg.

When: Till March 28, 2021
