We had been planning to visit this exhibition since March when it started during the school holidays but didn’t get the chance. Luckily we were able to make a visit in the last week and felt great that we went to this beautiful place for kids.
Imaginarium : A voyage of big ideas is the new edition of Singapore Art Museum’ much loved annual contemporary art exhibition for children, begun in 2010 and now in its fifth year. In the spirit of SG50 celebration this year’s exhibition is inspired by the crescent moon on the Singapore flag, a symbol of young nation on the rise with the capacity to dream big and think large. Imaginarium offers creative space featuring artists from Singapore and the region.
We Built this Estate by Chiang Xu Xiang
For a child the world is a giant playground.This work invites children to be architects, builders and master planners of their own housing estate and city skyline. With housing blocks designed like Tetris pieces, you can imagine and create whatever you feel like doing it here. Specially toddlers enjoy this space a lot, so colorful and bright giving you the feel of a playground.
Doodling at its best and everywhere right from stairs to ceiling !
There were series of short stories running on Level 2 but kids just watched couple of stories.
Imagin-a-doodle by Band of Doodlers
With Illustrations sprawling across the walls and winding up the four levels of the building.
Here we are !!
Kids enjoyed a lot here and we have spent the maximum time so that they can show their creativity!
Who want to miss an opportunity when you can doodle not just on a sheet but got yourself an entire room. Kaira is looking at what big bro is upto -maybe I can copy him !
Both busy in their own world !
How much I wish to do like this – what a beautiful world kids have got !
Everyone should know we were here 🙂
This was moonroom where we did some origami art by making a aircraft and walls were all coloured.
Let’s make ! Studio by Izziyana Suhaimi
This was really beautiful room to see the sewing, embroidery, craft using textiles, weaving etc. We just did this pom pom as Kaira wants to use needle, scissors. So this was the easiest we could do here.
Kiko’s Secrets By Kumkum Fernando
A space to broaden our minds by entering the magical worlds hidden within three secret boxes and beyond.
Greenroom II : Interstellar Overdrive by Vincent Twardzik Ching
Aayan was super excited to visit this room for his love with the word “Interstellar”. Bicycles, LEDs, Stereo equipment activated only through interaction between the artwork and the visitors, this work prompts us to think of how our future cities might be powered, and how this might change our lives.
It was so beautiful to see the block lighten up when you pedal faster and faster.
Both of them were trying their hands on listening to different sounds.
Dream House by Lee Jeeyoung
A home filled with candy is surely everyone’s dream house- a delightful space where our inner wishes for the future can be projected. A home filled of lollipops and candies everywhere you look around.
A Chandelier full of candies !!
You can plant your own candies on the trees- Wow ! What a dream house !!
It was a beautiful experience for kids to see the different artwork and to use their imagination to discover in creating a new world. All the sections were very well designed to create a lot of interest in kids of all age.
This is a very fun and entertaining activity for kids and even for us adult. They can draw and participate in the activities is great
I love going to museums. This one is really interesting since that it encourages guests, most especially children, to be creative. I should visit this one when I go back to Singapore. – Claire
This is such a fun place to visit. I would love to personally see and play with those huge tetris blocks, the bike that lights up the LEDs and that candy chadelier. 🙂
This is very Educational and creative. I love going to museum and this is one of a kind. This will interest my niece for sure!
Didn't know of this even though I'm in Singapore! Love the candy house most!
Looks very nice, but I do not think my kids will be interested with this anymore. Younger kids will definitely be enthralled though.
What a fascinating art museum for children! I wish we had this in the Philippines to encourage more children to enjoy art and expand their creativity or imaginations while they're young. I love the doodle wall. I bet that wall turned out really creative after all the children's doodle… a wall full of imagination, innocence and expressions of children.
This just reminded me about how much I need to go to a museum myself. Haha! The kids look like they had a lot of fun! 😀
The kids look like they're having fun ! wish i could go back to those days
I love going to museums. Posts and reviews like this makes me wished that I was still a kid. Haha 🙂
What a fun place!. There are so many activities the kids can do there. My girls wouldn't want to leave that place if I bring them there.
Never know there is an art museum in Singapore. Thanks for sharing.
I like how the museum encourages fresh ideas from doodling. It's also nice to explore the other areas and the biking part looks cool.
Adults and kids alike will definitely love visiting this place. Lots to learn here.
The wall art is a superb idea. I wish I was a kid and could play here with the candy chandelier.
This has been popping up all over my social media feed! I think this looks like a winner with the kids too.
Art museum around the world are truly could give much information to all. Like this Imaginarium really great to explore and discover. Looks cool and educational.
I can clearly see that your family had a fantastic time! I would love to bring my son here. I enjoyed the crafts room and the candy tree, I'm sure my little one will too. How much did you pay for the entrance fee?
This Imaginarium Singapore Art Museum is so cool for children and adults too. I wish to visit when I go to Singapore.
Many museums are not child-friendly, but this is something different. They allow kids to have fun and play and interact with the art pieces. I like that!
