Experience SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Showcase In Singapore

Fans of contemporary art and designer collectibles have a new date to mark on their calendars. From 12 December 2025 to 22 February 2026, the National Museum of Singapore will host the international debut of the SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Showcase, a large-scale immersive experience created by POP MART in collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board and Chinese artist Xiong Miao. This exhibition marks SKULLPANDA’s first appearance on such a significant global stage, inviting visitors to explore a world of duality, identity and emotional depth through striking installations and three-dimensional storytelling.

A Journey Through Six Thematic Worlds

The CAGE UNCAGE Showcase is presented across six interconnected zones that explore SKULLPANDA’s inner universe. Each space blends sculpture, sound, texture and atmospheric light to evoke the complex emotions that define the character. The experience moves between quiet contemplation and bold expression, allowing guests to interpret the symbolism in their own way. SKULLPANDA’s evolution is reflected through detailed scenes that express vulnerability, strength, confinement and release. Visitors are encouraged to move slowly through the showcase, taking in the layers of feeling that shape the character’s narrative.

Created by artist Xiong Miao, SKULLPANDA has long stood out in the global art toy scene for its introspective storytelling, architectural aesthetics and sculptural presence. This exhibition brings those qualities to life on a theatrical scale. Each installation features textures and forms inspired by the designer’s signature style, offering fans an opportunity to encounter SKULLPANDA beyond the limits of collectible figurines.

An Exclusive Singapore Installation

For its premiere in Singapore, the showcase features a specially created installation that pays tribute to the country’s cultural landscape. This one of a kind piece takes SKULLPANDA into a setting inspired by reinterpretations of Singapore’s urban motifs. Designed exclusively for this stop, the work invites viewers to consider how identity shifts and expands with place, memory and movement. It is a thoughtful addition that adds local resonance to the broader exhibition.

POP MART and the Rise of Designer Art

The exhibition is part of POP MART’s continued commitment to expanding designer art culture for global audiences. The brand has played an important role in elevating art toys into a recognised art form, working closely with creators like Xiong Miao to bring their concepts to life through exhibitions, sculptures and collectable works. With CAGE UNCAGE, POP MART and the National Museum of Singapore showcase the growing influence of contemporary pop art across Asia and beyond.

Cultural Collaboration with National Museum of Singapore

Hosting the international premiere reflects the National Museum’s ongoing efforts to bring fresh cultural experiences to Singapore. The partnership introduces an entirely new audience to the world of contemporary sculpture and character based art. Through this collaboration, museum visitors are invited to explore modern expressions of emotion, identity and artistic craft through SKULLPANDA’s lens.
