Thinking of where to bring the immature ones this weekend? How about dropping by the museum and having fun with fine art.
For the 2d edition of the National Gallery Singapore'southward pop Children's Biennale, kids – and adults open to embracing their inner child – can walk across a bridge and peer downwards into the creation, throw balls at metal tubes to brand music, or explore a lush garden made of newspaper cut-outs.
The Biennale, which opens on Saturday (May 25) and runs until December, will feature 11 interactive works by 13 artists from Singapore and Southeast Asia revolving around the theme Embracing Wonder.
Among these are two works by artists who are currently also showing at the prestigious Venice Biennale in Italy.

Meanwhile, Filipino creative person Mark Justiniani has remade his pop bridge-of-mirrors at the museum basement to create a piece called Stardust: Soaring Through The Heaven's Embrace.
"Art is a place for children to learn about themselves, trust their ideas, and explore what is possible, all of which are important in enabling children to become confident, independent thinkers. Hence, we are always looking at innovative ways to engage with immature learners to nurture an early on interest in art past showcasing how it can be fun, inspirational and educational," said Suenne Megan Tan, the museum's managing director for audience development and engagement.
