The showcase runs at the National Museum of Singapore from 12 December 2025 to 22 February 2026. Come visit now!

Uncover the Showcase Through Six Zones

At this showcase, you’ll go beyond the familiar collectible figure and step directly into the artistic vision of creator Xiong Miao based on the SKULLPANDA The Paradox Series. Through six major themes: Emotion, Fortune, Rules, Exploration, Life, and Direction, you’ll uncover the contradictions, dilemmas, and possibilities behind the choices we all face every day.

Each space features interactive installations, multi-sensory environments, and larger-than-life sculptures that invite you to pause, reflect, and discover your own interpretation of freedom and confinement.

You’ll start the experience with The Key,  where fragmented mirrors and keys invite reflection on the boundaries between reality and infinite possibilities, and continue into the six sections: 

• Emotion: Opposing locks and keys within a floating sphere explore the tensions between perception and truth
• Direction: Transparent, interactive pages with symbols signify imprisonment, revealing diverse paths to freedom
• Fortune: Mirrors and crystals are utilised to reflect the duality of wealth as being both dazzling and confining
• Rules: A spinning top and precarious scale explore time, gravity, and discipline through motion and balance
• Life: A meditative exploration through flowing sand and glass globes, reshaping how we view existence
• Exploration: Interactive blocks that transform static symbols into dynamic meanings, encouraging new perspectives

At the heart of the showcase lies The Room, where two SKULLPANDA sculptures hold keys within mirrored walls, creating an infinite maze that invites visitors to ponder the paradox of constraint and freedom.

Experience Singapore-Exclusive Installations

As the exhibition’s second-ever run, the Singapore edition includes elements you won’t find anywhere else. Look out for a special installation inspired by Singapore’s traditional bird-singing hobby, adding a meaningful local cultural touch that connects past and present.

You’ll also find free-to-access art installations around the museum’s Front Lawn and Level 1 spaces—perfect for photos, families, and casual exploration.
