After two years of renovation works, the Glass Rotunda at the National Museum of Singapore is finally opening its doors this month. Two permanent installations feature in the space — one's a digital marvel titled 'Story of the Forest' by teamLab, the other's a photo exhibit called 'Singapore, Very Old Tree' by local artist Robert Zhao.
Both are quite a sight to behold.
As you pull back the curtains and step inside the Glass Rotunda, you'll be greeted by bright and colourful flowers floating across the dome-like ceiling — it's part of the engaging digital installation 'Story of the Forest'. Inspired by the National Museum's 'The William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings', the projection transforms 69 drawings into animated illustrations that interact with you as you stroll down the 15m-high, 170m-long passage.
