Mars: The Red Mirror

Strap in as ArtScience Museum’s final exhibition, Mars: The Red Mirror, takes you on an adventurous excursion to planet Mars, jam-packing 12,000 years of art, history, research, and cultural notions surrounding the planet into one epic exhibition. Mars, often referred to as the red planet, has intrigued the curiosity of humanity for ages. Throughout history, people have been exploring its nature and possibilities. To this day, there have been three ongoing rover missions on the planet. And it isn't stopping there – more missions are on the horizon, with companies like SpaceX actively planning to transport people to Mars for the first time.  In this exhibition, the distant planet will be reintroduced through several centuries of narratives – both fiction and non-fiction – and explorations by pioneering scientists, modern day experts, filmmakers, writers, and contemporary artists across various cultures, from ancient Greek to Asian. You’ll be able to explore over 300 objects, including rare scientific manuscripts, sculptures, historical artefacts, films, contemporary artworks, and even a real-life Martian meteorite. The Singapore showing will also vary from the original one that debuted in Barcelona in 2021 by placing its focus on Asia to uncover Mars’ influence in China, India, Japan. It will also celebrate the achievements of pioneering Asian astronomers. Singapore’s very own Space Faculty will make an appearance as well.  It’s safe to say we're all familiar with the idea o
