Museum of Hidden Objects & Feelings
*Scape is set to officially relaunch in November after a major revamp, but ICYMI, parts of the youth hangout spot are already in business. One of these is The White Space, on the third floor of the building, which now houses the Museum of Hidden Objects & Feelings (MOHO) – an interactive exhibition that looks at loneliness in today’s digital age, and what it means to be connected.

MOHO was designed to be a safe space for visitors to engage with and explore feelings that are, most of the time, hidden – as the title of the exhibition suggests. It comprises 8 tech-based and analogue booths that invite visitors to wander through and ponder the meaning of loneliness.
Each visitor is issued a MOHO Passport on entry, which they can use to collect stamps by completing the activities at the various booths. Get all of the stamps, and you can redeem a free drink when you’re done with MOHO.
“What does loneliness look like to you?” reads a question on the mirror at the first booth you’ll encounter on your visit. The mirror, of course, encourages you to look deep within yourself for the answer, and a roll of blank canvas hanging next to it leaves it open for you to express it in whatever way you prefer – stick drawings, abstract geometry, or text in any form and language.
As you pen down your answer, you’re invited to glance through whatever has been put to paper by visitors before you. Half, a start-up which organises mental wellness workshops and the brains behind MOHO, hopes that visitors form a sense of connection to these strangers who have also thought about what loneliness means to them, and feel a little less lonely, perhaps.

The MOHO Display is another booth that you will pass through at the Museum – a collection of 12 display cases, each telling a deeply personal story through items donated by 12 individuals. Without the stories, these items seem unremarkable – pedestrian even, until you find out what they mean.
There’s a corded phone, a framed photo of a dog with socks, a sketchbook, and even a portable music player with headphones, which turns out to hold the last voice message one of the Half co-founders had received from her late brother.
Grief, as it turns out, comes in all forms.
As with the blank canvas, visitors are invited to add the song that best symbolises their loneliness to a communal playlist, which will be shared on Half’s social media for all to tune in to. “You’re not alone”, Half reminds us through this exhibit.

And if you find yourself unable to find that safe space to give voice to your deepest truths, there’s The Confession Booth, a private spot where you can do just that, anonymously.

Just after you exit the museum, you’ll come across a cabinet of 12 letterboxes: 1 per month in 2026. You’re invited to write yourself a letter, and drop it in one of the boxes; this letter to your future self will be mailed to you in your chosen month next year.
The Cabinet of Emotions, where you can add your voice to a wall of feelings and stories.

The Museum of Hidden Objects & Feelings is now open at *Scape, from 11am to 8pm, Tuesdays to Sundays, till 1st November 2025.
In a world where we are so digitally connected but physically disconnected from one another, this exhibition is a reminder to reflect on our innermost feelings and maybe seek to build stronger bonds with the people around us; to be more empathetic to one another, so there may be fewer lonely people in the world.
