The New Art Museum Singapore has launched 'Wonders of Nature,' an immersive and interactive exhibition running from April 5 to October 5, 2025. Located at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, the family-friendly show features giant inflatable cacti by local artist Jackson Tan, a green ball pit, animal sculptures by Japanese artist Osamu Watanabe, AI projections of marine life by Masato Inagaki and Go Ogawa, and a black-wall imagination room. The exhibition is curated by local creative director Warren Wee and includes a pop-up by Waga Waga Cafe.
This exhibition matters because it represents a growing trend in Singapore's art scene toward immersive, family-oriented experiences that blend art, technology, and education. By making art accessible to children (free entry for under-7s) and incorporating interactive elements like AI projections and hands-on drawing walls, 'Wonders of Nature' broadens the audience for contemporary art and encourages early engagement with creative expression. It also highlights the work of local and international artists in a playful, non-traditional museum setting.
