The vibrant pop culture of Singapore is set to shine as the ArtScience Museum and mm2 Entertainment revealed the upcoming "SingaPop! 60 Years of Singapore Pop Culture" exhibition, which will open on April 15. This immersive exhibit, running from August to December at the ArtScience Museum, is curated by Cultural Medallion awardee Dick Lee, with support from the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

This is the first time Dick Lee, renowned Singaporean singer-songwriter, playwright, and director, is curating such an event. He is also known for penning and composing beloved National Day songs like Home and We Will Get There. "SingaPop!" celebrates SG60 and spans six decades of Singapore’s pop culture, from the 1960s to the present. The exhibition will explore the country's multicultural society in five chapters, each showcasing a different aspect of Singapore’s “rojak spirit,” a term that reflects the nation’s diverse cultural mix.

Lee shared, "Having witnessed and been part of the evolution of our cultural identity over the last 60 years, I'm excited to present this exhibition that reflects who we are: quirky, vibrant, and distinctly Singaporean." While full details are yet to be unveiled, the exhibition promises an immersive experience, blending Dick Lee’s personal stories with artifacts, multimedia displays, and archival footage that link Singapore's past, present, and future.

Honor Harger, the ArtScience Museum’s vice president, described the exhibition as both a “time capsule and a love letter to Singapore,” shaped by Dick’s unique perspective. She emphasized that the exhibition embodies Singapore's rojak culture, where elements like Singlish, hawker food, local music, fashion, and film come together to create something instantly familiar and emotionally meaningful. Ticket details will be shared later. More information can be found on the ArtScience Museum’s website.
