A Live Doodling Activation - Imagine the future of play

Let's explore the future of play this National Day as we celebrate what unites us.
What better way to articulate the future, than to doodle? Turning a swing, slide or a see-saw into a canvas, we work with illustrators to imagine the possibilities of play. So the final artwork becomes a work of art the museum, and all Singaporeans, can own. Visitors are encouraged to imagine tomorrow's playground, and how it continues to bring us together. These scenarios will be drawn by the doodlers on to the canvas.
