An immersive exhibition themed after ‘The Little Prince' comes to Singapore with enchanting 3D visuals

Time Out24-06-2025
Rekindle your sense of childhood wonder and imagination with the latest immersive exhibition that's landing in Singapore. The Little Prince: The Journey of Stars takes you through the whimsical children's tale by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – a beloved classic that's been pored over by generations.
You'll know what to expect if you've attended the other exhibitions by Korean multimedia art collective Groundseesaw: vibrant 3D visuals projected across six-metre walls, educational snippets that delve deeper into the storybook world of The Little Prince, and a rousing instrumental soundtrack that heightens the whole multi-sensory experience. Follow the prince as he travels across planets, gains wisdom from the fox, and shows you to see the world through a different lens.
The Little Prince: The Journey of Stars is suitable for all ages, and not to worry if you aren't already familiar with the book. Treat this exhibition as an introduction to the simple yet poignant tale that holds multiple layers of profound, compelling themes beneath its colourful surface.
The exhibition replaces Gustav Klimt: Timeless Beauty, while Van Gogh Inside: Love, Vincent and Monet Inside will continue running all the way till the end of July 2025, minimally. Each session lasts one hour in fixed time slots. As sessions start on the dot, visitors are advised to arrive at least 10 minutes earlier so that they can find a good spot and settle in nicely before the story comes alive.
Not coming with little ones in tow? Make a prior reservation for ATLAS, the famous Art Deco-inspired bar housed within the same building, to complete your visit. Alternatively, you can also cater some time to drop by Takara House, a cosy new Japanese-inspired vintage thrift store and café that's within easy walking distance. We love its homemade pastries!
The Little Prince: The Journey of Stars is slated to open its doors on June 26, 2025 at Groundseesaw, located on Level 3 at Parkview Square. Entry for local adults starts from $22 ($11 with the ongoing 50 percent discount), and tickets for dates all the way till July 31, 2025 can be purchased via Fever.

'Hidden gem' Spanish town is just an hour from Marbella and is 'less crowded'

A French holidaymaker has shared a "hidden gem" Spanish town that is just an hour away from the popular tourist destination of Marbella - and it's perfect for those wanting to avoid the crowds With just a month of summer remaining, many might be scrambling to secure a last-minute getaway or beginning to fantasise about next year's destinations, with Spain continuing to be amongst the top choices for British holidaymakers. ‌ Whilst renowned tourist hotspots such as Benidorm, Barcelona and Marbella have witnessed locals demonstrating against the massive influx of annual visitors, several lesser-known towns remain relatively uncrowded - and they're practically on our doorstep. However, if you're keen to explore somewhere fresh, choosing your ideal destination can feel daunting. To help, a French traveller called Marina has revealed her "hidden-gem" location for those seeking to enjoy the Spanish culture without the crowds. ‌ Amongst the numerous lesser-known towns is Iznájar. Situated in Córdoba province within Andalucia in southern Spain, this town houses 4,960 residents yet maintains a lively community atmosphere. ‌ "One of the most beautiful villages of Spain," Marina wrote her TikTok video whilst showcasing highlights from her trip. Strolling through the cobbled lanes wearing a vibrant yellow dress, Marina showed the whitewashed buildings adorned with blue flowering plants, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Greece 's Santorini. Marina wrote in the caption of her video: "Save this for one of the most beautiful villages of Spain. Which one is your favourite?" ‌ She went on to share the exact details of the destination where she filmed the video: "Iznájar - a must see of the Pueblos Blancos This exact spot is called Patio de las Comedias." Patio de las Comedias is a tapas establishment situated at the town's heart, near the historic castle. Not only does it serve traditional Spanish tapas, it also boasts amazing views that overlook the rest of the town. She then revealed a breathtaking view from a vantage point, showcasing endless rows of charming white buildings with olive groves stretching into the distance. Olive harvesting is a key economic activity in Iznájar, but tourism is on the rise. ‌ For those keen to immerse themselves in Spanish nature, Marina also highlighted the Iznajar Reservoir that encircles the town. It's the largest in Andalucía and transforms into a bustling "beach" during the summer season. If you're itching for more than just a quaint town experience, you'll be pleased to know that Iznájar is merely an hour's drive from vibrant Marbella, perfect for a city escape. Accessing this historic town is a breeze for international travellers, with Marbella airport being the nearest gateway. The comments section was quickly flooded with enthusiasm, as many expressed their desire to visit on their next holiday. "Stunning! Love all the colour," remarked one user, while another shared: "Love! My favourite was Frigiliana."

ScotRail: Hundreds stranded in East Lothian last night after incident

All passengers on the packed 10.20pm [[North Berwick]] to Edinburgh Scotrail service, many of whom had been at the Fringe by the Sea festival, had to get off the train at about 10.40pm at [[Prestonpans]]. [[Edinburgh]]-bound passenger Gordon Craig told the East Lothian Courier: "We were close to Longniddry when there was an announcement over the tannoy that, due to a fatality on the line, the train would be stopping at [[Prestonpans]] and going no further. "The train was full of people and families and there were so many people standing about at Prestonpans, trying to get taxis, and it was all getting very heated. "Myself and my young son managed to get a relative to pick us up in his car - and we gave others a lift, including a guy with his dog! - but there were so many others who didn't know how they'd get home." At 10.58pm last night, ScotRail posted on X, formerly Twitter, that they were "working closely" with the emergency services who were "dealing with an incident" between [[Edinburgh]] and [[Prestonpans]]. "This means the [train] lines are currently closed between Edinburgh and North Berwick and Edinburgh and Tweedbank," they said. ScotRail confirmed that replacement buses "had been requested". However, at 11.26pm, ScotRail had bad news for the passengers. They posted: "We've been unable to secure replacement buses for the North Berwick/Tweedbank lines so customers are advised to make their own travel arrangements. Retain your train tickets and travel receipts for any claims." ScotRail posted this message on social media just before 11pm last night (Image: X) Meanwhile, at North Berwick railway station, the platform was packed with people wanting to travel on the midnight train to Edinburgh - a special extra service for the hundreds who had attended the Fringe by the Sea festival, which featured a headline slot last night by celebrated French music duo Air. But due to the emergency incident, the train - like all trains on the line in both directions - was cancelled and revellers had to try to make their own arrangements to get home, despite it being after midnight, and with £80-£100 taxis to Edinburgh almost impossible to secure. Some even retreated to the nearby Nether Abbey Hotel to enquire about rooms. On the social media platform X, desperate pleas were being made to ScotRail by people stuck at both Prestonpans and North Berwick and unable to get home. Lynne Rendall posted at 11.52pm: "Literally hundreds of us stranded at North Berwick. Please can you sort replacement buses?" Due to the "late hour", ScotRail said they could not. And she added: "[It's] impossible to make alternative arrangements as no taxi from West Lothian will come out for us and all accommodation is fully booked." And another poster, Wanderluster, told ScotRail: "There are hundreds of people stranded! This is totally unacceptable! Sort something out!" Wanderluster added: "There are elderly people and families. There are no taxis in North Berwick. What are hundreds of people supposed to do?" While Kate Bremner wrote: "There are hundreds of people stuck! You have a duty of care!" East Lothian residents who had spent an evening in the Capital were also unable to get home to the county by train late last night. They could, however, use their train ticket on the Lothian 26 bus service between [[Edinburgh]], Musselburgh and [[Prestonpans]]. The British Transport Police has been asked to confirm the nature of the incident on the line. Rail services on the route returned to normal this morning.

Wave-riding canines take on surf to be named top dog

They competed against similar-sized dogs for a chance to appear in the finals, while additional heats featured multiple dogs – wearing life vests and often goggles – surfing tandem or riding with people. Once out on the waves, their owners helped them hop on their colourful surf boards as the crowd cheered from the beach. Judges assessed how long the dogs remained on their boards, how long they held their balance, and whether they performed any tricks, like turning around while riding. Coconut catches a wave during the contest at Pacifica State Beach (Eakin Howard/AP) Iza, a five-year-old French bulldog, won the single surfer heat for medium-size dogs for the first time, her owner David Fasoli said. He said he found 'pure joy' during the pandemic when he brought home a surfboard from his job at Costco and taught Iza to balance in the swimming pool. The two soon started swimming in the sea and learning to ride waves as passers-by watched in awe. Now, their competitions are all about defying expectations. 'I have a disability – I only have one hand – so a non-sporting human combined with a non-sporting dog breed, we are kind of phenomenal, defying the odds of what people think we're capable of doing,' Mr Fasoli said after the competition. Carson jumps off his board and into the surf (Eakin Howard/AP) Ten-year-old yellow lab Charlie likes surfing so much he will grab his surfboard and run towards the water – his owners sometimes have to hide it to ensure some peace. Charlie, who has his own Instagram page, entered the extra-large single surfer heat. He also rode tandem with two other dogs in what their humans called 'The Dream Team'. Owner Maria Nieboer said: 'He loves the crowd.' Charlie and Ms Nieboer's husband Jeff prepare for waves together. When Mr Nieboer spots a good one, he turns the board around and tells Charlie to 'get ready'. He pushes the board forward, and Charlie scrunches down and rides the wave as long as he can. Charlie can even steer the board by leaning, and surfs towards an awaiting Ms Nieboer on the shore. Faith the surfing Pitbull gets pushed through the breakers by owner James Wall (Eakin Howard/AP) He does not have to be rewarded with treats for any of it, Mr Nieboer said, adding: 'Charlie does what Charlie wants to do once we're in the water.' Charlie's 'Dream Team' compatriot, fellow yellow lab Rosie, was in four heats. The four-year-old's owner, Steve Drottar, said she is 'stoked' after they go surfing, which they do four to five times a week back home in Santa Cruz. 'It's like, hey, we actually did something today, right? We did something together as a team,' Mr Drottar said. 'The fact that you can do something as a team with your dog creates a different bond than you have when you just take your dog for a walk.' He can tell Rosie feels a sense of accomplishment afterwards because she is extra happy, wags her tail extra hard and snuggles even more than usual, he said. 'It's like we go home on the couch and it feels like she's saying 'Thank-you'.'
