Set up in conjunction with the National Museum of Singapore, the exhibition invites all to ruminate about the notion of being metaphorically caged, by imposing physical boundaries on various SKULLPANDA-fronted displays. For instance, within a boxed up shelter outside the museum stand 3 hulking, porcelain-white SKULLPANDA sculptures that greet visitors.

Head on inside, and you’ll find a couple of artistic installations that amplifies the pensive mood. These include The Room, which features 2 huge SKULLPANDA models surrounded by an infinite expanse of mirror reflections, as well as the Fortune display’s pockmarked cabinet that houses the dreamy character in a limbo-like slumber.

It wouldn’t be an authentic POP MART experience if we didn’t get to bring home a keepsake or 2, so drop by the exhibition’s retail zone before you go. It’s stocked with SKULLPANDA goodies such as t-shirts ($39.90), and key chains ($18.90), but the holy grail will have to be the exhibition-exclusive -Cage-Uncage plush doll ($39.90).
