Open across 13 February 2026 till 18 May 2026, Botero: Heart Of Volume is a gallery exhibition showcasing the distinctive "Boterismo" artistic style of Fernando Botero Angulo, a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor. Featuring a curated selection of original works and sculptures, the exhibition explores the artist’s lifelong fascination with volume and rotundness. His paintings and sculptures depict people and figures in large proportionally exaggerated volume, which either represents political criticism or playful humor, depending on the artwork. His adorably rotund “Bird” sculpture along the Singapore River is probably the artwork most Singaporeans would be familiar with. The landmark Botero: Heart Of Volume Exhibition 2026 brings together nearly 130 original works, making it the largest Botero exhibition in the world, with Singapore as its only Southeast Asian stop.

Open across 13 February 2026 till 30 June 2026, the "David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (Not Smaller & Further Away)" immersive show, a 50-minutes journey through sixty years of his art, told through larger-than-life projections and vivid soundscapes. Within the 360-degree Lightroom, the vast projection walls and revolutionary sound system enable visitors to experience the artist's fascination with the possibilities of storytelling through media.
