<div><span>Unique? That doesn&rsquo;t even begin to cover it.</span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>For 14 years, the ArtScience Museum in Singapore has been <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/travel/marina-bay-sands-is-and-will-always-be-singapore-s-ultimate-flex">more than a landmark</a> &mdash; it&rsquo;s been a launchpad for imagination. Sitting at the crossroads of innovation and introspection, this lotus-shaped powerhouse has hosted some of the boldest, brainiest, and <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/travel/western-australia-made-outdoor-adventure-my-identity">most beautiful exhibitions in the region</a>. Whether it&rsquo;s fashion fused with technology, sci-fi reframed through an Asian lens, or a deep dive into sneaker culture, ArtScience doesn&rsquo;t just curate &mdash; it recalibrates what an exhibition can be.<br /><br /></span><span>Here, L&rsquo;Officiel charts the museum&rsquo;s greatest hits &mdash; the shows that turned heads, sparked conversations, and raised the bar for cultural storytelling in <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/art/your-ultimate-k-pop-concert-and-fan-meeting-calendar-for-kuala-lumpur-june-dec-20">Southeast Asia.</a></span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses</span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>Forget fashion as we know it. Iris van Herpen&rsquo;s work operates in another dimension entirely. With over 140 couture pieces suspended between art, science, and dreams, this retrospective is a symphony of sensation. Think: gowns that seem grown rather than sewn, accessories that resemble fossilised organisms from the future, and thematic zones that plunge you into the designer&rsquo;s mindscape. It&rsquo;s haute couture in a quantum field &mdash; stitched with tech, evolution, and radical beauty.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>The World of Studio Ghibli<br /></span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>Step inside the storyboard. The legendary Japanese animation house gets the blockbuster treatment with a sprawling, set-built spectacle featuring 16 immersive scenes from 11 beloved Ghibli films &mdash; from&nbsp;My Neighbour Totoro&nbsp;to&nbsp;Spirited Away. Handcrafted by a Japanese art team and curated by Studio Ghibli itself, this is as close as you&rsquo;ll ever get to wandering through your childhood wonderland.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Frida Kahlo: The Life of an Icon<br /></span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>This isn&rsquo;t a biography &mdash; it&rsquo;s a visceral, full-body encounter with the legend of Frida. Eight multimedia zones combine vintage film, archival photos, interactive art, and 360&deg; projections that pulse with her pain, politics, and passion. It&rsquo;s less about what Kahlo painted and more about&nbsp;why&nbsp;&mdash; turning her story into something you&nbsp;feel&nbsp;as much as you see.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Goddess: Brave. Bold. Beautiful.</span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>Equal parts museum and moodboard,&nbsp;Goddess&nbsp;pays tribute to the fierce women who&rsquo;ve redefined cinema. From Michelle Yeoh&rsquo;s stunt-filled screen legacy to Laverne Cox&rsquo;s cultural trailblazing, it&rsquo;s a visual power trip through 120 years of rule-breakers and scene-stealers. With rare costumes, sketches, and footage from Hollywood to Hong Kong, this global celebration reclaims the spotlight &mdash; and doesn&rsquo;t let go.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed<br /></span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>Sci-fi gets an Asian remix in this genre-bending exhibition led entirely by women artists.&nbsp;New Eden&nbsp;taps into ancient myth, futuristic vision, and postmodern cinema to build alternate worlds grounded in cultural memory and cosmic imagination. It&rsquo;s speculative storytelling through a fresh lens &mdash; where utopia is intersectional, inclusive, and deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Sneakertopia: Step Into Street Culture</span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>Part gallery, part hypefest.&nbsp;Sneakertopia&nbsp;stomped into Asia for the first time with 100+ grail-worthy sneakers and a street-savvy lineup of visual artists, muralists, and designers. But this isn&rsquo;t just about the kicks &mdash; it&rsquo;s about culture. From courtside to catwalks, the exhibition unpacks the global influence of sneaker design, where art, tech, and self-expression collide in high-top form.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Patricia Piccinini: We Are Connected</span></div>

<div><span>Ever hugged a hyper-realistic mutant creature with the eyes of a child and the skin of a bat? Patricia Piccinini wants you to. Her hauntingly tender sculptures blur the line between species and soul, asking big questions about biotech, kinship, and empathy. It&rsquo;s weird, it&rsquo;s wonderful, and it might just change how you see humanity &mdash; and everything outside of it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>STAR WARS&trade; Identities: The Exhibition</span></div>

<div><span>This is&nbsp;the&nbsp;fan experience. Nearly 200 original props, costumes, models, and concept sketches from the&nbsp;Star Wars&trade;&nbsp;saga &mdash; plus a chance to design your own Jedi, Sith, or rogue in between. From Luke&rsquo;s lightsaber to the inner psyche of Darth Vader, it&rsquo;s equal parts nostalgia trip and behind-the-scenes deep dive into the mythology that shaped modern storytelling.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Minimalism: Space. Light. Object.</span></div>

<div><span>Proof that less really is more. In this serene, slow-burn exhibition, Minimalism becomes a kind of spiritual cleanse &mdash; a moment of stillness in a world that won&rsquo;t shut up. Featuring Southeast Asian voices alongside global pioneers, it repositions the movement as both universal and deeply local. The takeaway? When you remove everything non-essential, what&rsquo;s left is truth.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>SERPENTI<em>form</em></span></div>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span>Decadence. Danger. Bulgari&rsquo;s signature snake slithered through this dazzling retrospective that traced its power through fashion, jewellery, and art. From Cleopatra-inspired necklaces to contemporary photography,&nbsp;SERPENTIform&nbsp;proved the serpent isn&rsquo;t just a symbol &mdash; it&rsquo;s a style icon with serious bite.</span></p>
