What’s on

Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy

Get to know the human body inside out at Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy. The latest landmark exhibition at the ArtScience Museum explores the human body and how it has been studied and imagined across cultures and practices from the 16th century to the present day. Presented in partnership with the Getty Research Institute, the showcase builds on the exhibition that first debuted in 2022 at the Getty Centre, adding contemporary artworks and scientific specimens to the mix. This Singapore edition also highlights more Asian perspectives, drawing from medical traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old Indian medical system. There is also a dedicated section on TCM practices, which features more than 40 objects loaned from the Singapore College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one of the region’s oldest and most respected institutions. Aside from boasting over 160 artefacts and artworks, Flesh and Bones also presents life‑sized illustrations and detailed woodcut artworks, alongside rare books, medical manuscripts, and more from around the world.

Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath

No submarine? No problem. You can still embark on an aquatic adventure to the darkest parts of the sea with Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath, the latest exhibition from ArtScience Museum, made in collaboration with OceanX. Marking its world premiere, this showcase plunges you into the deep blue using advanced filming technology to gather unseen footage of the ocean for the very first time. Featuring five immersive zones, the exhibition is designed to make you feel like you’re actually descending into the ocean: it starts at the surface and brings you all the way down to the seabed, each section revealing how mesmerising and vast the body of water can get. The cinematic ocean visuals are completed with the works of internationally renowned artists like Marshmallow Laser Feast, Marco Barotti and Jana Winderen, alongside scientific studies by the National University of Singapore. Interspersed between the research and artworks are interactive activities that aim to help both kids and adults understand the importance of marine conservation.
