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

Eternal beauty
Beyond the glitter An immersive exhibition highlighting work by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, best known for portraits decorated with gold leaf, is taking place through March at Groundseesaw Myeong-dong in Seoul. The 50-minute multimedia show 'Gustav Klimt: Timeless Beauty' showcases paintings by Klimt. He was a founder and the first president of the Vienna Secession, a 19th-century artist group that sought a new balance of art and design that was less influenced by state patronage. The show walks through the life of the painter, who started out with a conservative style, before taking a more rebellious approach as a Symbolist painter that won him widespread acclaim -- a path that took a sudden turn when his painting 'Philosophy' was met with a hostile reception. Paintings 'Jurisprudence' and 'Medicine,' just as controversial at the time, are also portrayed in the show. How Klimt came to be best identified with portraits and what led many to find fresh perspectives in his erotic depictions of women are discussed during the 50-minute narrative divided into eight sections. There are nine viewing sessions daily between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The session's last 15 minutes recap all the paintings shown, the only time allowed to take photos. Japanese master of black-and-white photography For those interested in photography, "Theatre of the Dunes," an exhibition of works by Japanese photographer Shoji Ueda at piknic in Seoul, is a good one to appreciate black-and-white photographs by the late artist (1913-2000). Born in a rural town in Tottori prefecture, the artist stayed in his hometown his whole life. The Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography, a museum dedicated to the artist, is also located in his hometown. The seashores and sand dunes in his iconic photographs were among the photographer's favorite locations for his works. Viewing Ueda's photographs, some may be reminded of surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali or Rene Magritte. After viewing the exhibition, visit Kafe piknic, a cozy cafe on the first floor, to reflect on the exhibition. The exhibition runs until March 2. Piknic is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Cafe supporting pet adoption, animal welfare Pawinhand in Gyeongui Forest, a cafe and adoption culture center, offers a space where visitors can enjoy coffee while supporting pet adoption. Located along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park near Daeheung Station in Seoul, this cafe doubles as a platform for rescuing and adopting stray animals. All profits from the cafe, as well as the sales of merchandise, go toward supporting adoption initiatives and promoting the welfare of abandoned animals. Dogs are allowed at the cafe, open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and guests can choose where to sit between the space where dogs that are up for adoption live or the main seating area of the cafe. Visitors can find cards displaying information about stray animals awaiting adoption. The menu offers a variety of beverages, including coffee, tea, juices and fresh lemonade. An Americano costs 4,500 won, and for pet owners, there's a special treat called "Mungpuchino" for their furry companions. The cafe also sells cute merchandise such as stickers, keychains and T-shirts. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of these items is donated to animal welfare initiatives. The cafe enforces a two-hour time limit for seating. Pawinhand in Gyeongui Forest is an ideal stop for anyone interested in adopting a dog.
