New Special Exhibition Coming Soon!SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Singapore

Making its international debut at the National Museum of Singapore, the SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Showcase is an immersive and thought-provoking showcase that elevates the artistry and intent of POP MART's beloved character.

The showcase explores the contradictory states of certainty and freedom brought about by our decision-making processes. Through visually striking, interactive installations, visitors are invited to contemplate six major themes that form part of everyday life — Emotion, Fortune, Rules, Exploration, Life, and Direction — and examine the possibilities and dilemmas of choice that lie within.

Created in 2018 by Chinese multidisciplinary artist Xiong Miao, the SKULLPANDA character was designed as a version of the artist who embraces all the uncertainties and questions of life, concepts that have long fascinated her. Making its international debut outside of China at the National Museum of Singapore, the showcase runs from 12 December 2025 to 22 February 2026.
