National Design Centre

Singapore’s never short of fascinating exhibitions, and here’s one more to add to your list – the Unnatural History Museum of Singapore, curated by Kinetic Singapore for Singapore Design Week 2025. This imaginative showcase reinterprets the nation’s past in unexpected ways. Wander through the space and you’ll encounter unique artwork such as a six-metre mock Merlion fossil, hybrid flora and robotic fauna, animal droids staged in dioramas and taxidermy-inspired works, geological displays featuring innovative new materials, alternative food concepts and reimagined landscape paintings. More than just playful creations, these artworks celebrate the creativity and ingenuity that have fuelled Singapore’s growth and success over the decades. At the same time, the exhibition hopes to spark fresh ideas about what the country’s future might hold.
