SINGAPORE – A timely slate of refreshed spaces and new programmes at Singapore’s arts and cultural institutions will be launched in 2025, wooing audiences with a different Singapore story as the nation gears up to mark 60 years of independence.
The National Museum of Singapore (NMS), which is undergoing a three-year revamp, will reopen its Life In Singapore galleries and glass rotunda in 2025. The latter has hosted the popular immersive teamLab exhibition Story Of The Forest since 2016, so the new look is highly anticipated.
