Lunar New Year Promotion: 50% off entry fees for Singaporeans & Permanent Residents to Body & Spirit: The Human Body in Thought & Practice Special Exhibition from 15 January – 15 February 2023
| ACM explores wellness and the wholeness of body, spirit, and mind with Body & Spirit: The Human Body in Thought and Practice. Featuring over 100 objects from the National Collection, private collectors, and local communities, this special exhibition presents a stunning display of sacred and ritual art from Singapore and the region. Join us in contemplating the many ways in which religions in Asia understand the human body through rituals, healing practices, pilgrimage, and divine images.
Complementing the main exhibition are two special showcases. Buddha Relics displays gems and other precious offerings found together with bone relics of the Buddha in the Piprahwa Stupa in India in 1898. In Vel Vel: The Burden Dance (a project by Sistrum), learn more about kavadi – elaborate structures carried in Thaipusam, a yearly procession celebrated by Singapore’s Tamil Hindu community.
Singaporeans and Permanent Residents enjoy 50% off entry fees when they visit Body & Spirit from 15 January – 15 February 2023!
