SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Showcase at National Museum of Singapore

If you're a SKULLPANDA fan, or simply love thought-provoking art, this brand-new showcase is about to make the National Museum of Singapore your next must-visit stop!

SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Singapore brings you into an immersive, quietly powerful world designed to help you reconnect with yourself through gentle moments of reflection.

Presented by POP MART and artist Xiong Miao, this internationally debuting showcase runs from 12 December 2025 to 22 February 2026, marking the first time SKULLPANDA takes centre stage in Singapore.

The first 4,500 visitors to the showcase will even get a Singapore-exclusive SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Showcase Gift!

At the museum’s entrance, a giant SKULLPANDA sculpture on the lawn greets you with its eye-catching silhouette.

Inside, you’ll be drawn into The Key, a reflective space shaped by fragmented mirrors and symbolic keys. From there, the journey unfolds across six thematic zones, each exploring the contrasts and contradictions of everyday life.

Six Zones to Explore

Emotion

‍Start your journey with a floating sphere that has two opposite locks and keys, highlighting how perception and truthdo not always match.

‍

Direction

‍Transparent pages marked with symbols signify how people can feel stuck, but still have many possible paths to choose from.

‍

‍

‍

Fortune

‍This area uses mirrors and crystals to show two sides of wealth as being both attractive, and limiting at the same time.

‍

Rules

‍A spinning top and a shaky scale explores time, gravity, and discipline through motion and balance.

‍

Life

‍Softly flowing sand and glass globes create a meditative space. It invites you to think about how life changes and how we understand those changes.

‍

Exploration

‍Blocks that you can move let you turn simple symbols into new shapes. This hands-on area encourages you to explore, try things out, and see ideas in fresh ways.

The Room

The highlight of the showcase is The Room, a mirrored chamber where two SKULLPANDA figures hold keys.

The endless reflections create an infinite maze that captures the tug between freedom and constraint that runs throughout the exhibition.

‍

Singapore Exclusives

The Singapore showcase includes a special installation inspired by the beloved local tradition of bird singing.

Delicate hanging bird cages display original SKULLPANDA prototypes, while a video artwork follows Xiong Miao’s butterfly emblem as it moves through familiar local scenes before settling at its current home at the National Museum of Singapore. 

Exclusive Merchandise

Before you leave, stop by the Gallery Theatre to explore showcase-exclusive items, available only to ticket holders and subject to eligibility and purchase limits. 

Highlights include the  SKULLPANDA Plush Doll-Cage-Uncage and POP MART’s POPOP jewellery line, making its Singapore debut for a limited time.

Additional POP MART favourites are available at the POP MART POP-Up store at the museum’s Longer Concourse (tickets not required).
