That is why I’m excited to share that you’ll be able to catch a first-of-its-kind picturesque immersive exhibition soon. Inspired by Claude Monet — the French artist and founder of impressionist painting — Impressions of Monet will be held from 12 July to 15 September 2024. 

This mesmerising exhibition will be split into two aspects — The Garden and The Experience. 

Regardless of whether you’re an art buff or not, you’ll definitely come to appreciate the timeless beauty of Monet’s artworks and chronicles of his life when you’re there! 

You might’ve heard (or seen) Monet’s iconic pink house or the Clos Normand (flower garden) and water garden if you simply search up his name. Step into his shoes as The Garden recreates the tranquil landscapes of Monet’s home in Giverny, France — that became the subject of many of his paintings. 

It boasts an alluring floral display of water lilies, hydrangeas, weeping willows and much more, including the Japanese bridge, which made an appearance in The Water Lily Pond painting. 

If witnessing his house isn’t enough, you’ll get to enter the front facade of the Monet’s house which leads to The Experience. Honestly, I’m more excited for this as it promises a stunning display of famous inspirational paintings through a multi-sensory immersion. 

You’ll get to indulge your senses through a rich, dynamic display of light, colour, sound and fragrance that brings to life the Impressionist movement. Witness the breathtaking surreal paintings projected on an enormous scale to feel like you’re part of it as well!

Currently, tickets for the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome go for S$12 (child), S$15 (senior), and S$20 (adult) for Singaporeans. 

If you’re planning to visit Singapore, tickets for travelers are priced at S$18 (child) and S$32 (adult). However, the exact ticket prices for the Monet exhibition have yet to be released so keep an eye out for more details!

With more art festivals and shows popping up, we’re definitely spoiled for choices this 2024!

With Mexican culture as its centrepiece, featuring floral displays, replicas of cultural artefacts and more (S$20 for adults and S$12 for kids) – there’s also a list of free Mexican cultural activities you can enjoy apart from the captivating floral displays. Catch Mexican films, watch traditional performances, learn to make salsa and take home handicrafts, there’s quite a few interesting things to watch out for. 

First, you can now learn to make your own traditional Mexican chilli from chef Luiz Rodriguez, as well as taste salsa. Then watch an ice-cream demonstration and have your very own Mexican-style ice-cream, and the flavours of Mexican street food. The culinary demonstrations will take place from 3 to 4 September.

And as you attend these culinary workshops, the little ones can watch animated films by acclaimed directors at a mini film festival, screening the films Ana and Bruno, A Costume for Nicolás, and Cosmic Twins. The films screened centre around themes such as inclusivity and traditional folktales. Do note that the film festival runs from 3 to 4 September. 

If you want a souvenir of your experience, drop by the showcase’s craft workshops, where you can make a flower brooch using the flowers featured in the floral displays (S$10, 24 to 25 September), create your own Aztec plume with feathers (S$15, 10 to 11 September), and take home an Olmec head made out of seeds from Mexico (S$15, 10 to 11 September).

After you’ve spent a day enjoying culinary delights and admiring iconic displays, head to the Flower Field Hall and groove to the sounds of Mexican and Cuban folkloric music with a contemporary vibe. If traditional music is more your style, immerse yourself in the Dance of the Four Elements by Mexican Folkloric Ballet of Singapore to express thanks and bless the harvest and fertility of the earth. Do note that the cultural performances will take place on 3 to 4 September. (Pre-registration may be required for some programmes too.)

With gorgeous displays and free cultural activities to enjoy, mark your calendars and bring the family down for some weekend fun at at Gardens by the Bay’s Hanging Gardens, Floral Roots showcase at the Flower Dome!

New animal inflatables in Gardens by the Bay 

As part of the Children’s Festival event for Art-Zoo Wonder Gardens, you can now find animal and insect-themed inflatables at Supertree Grove in Gardens by the Bay. 

The vibrant colour of the displays helps the inflatables to stand out amongst the lush greenery, but really, it’s their size we’re in awe of — we look like miniatures beside them. 

Seven gigantic inflatables are peppered over the place, inviting parents and curious little ones to admire or take pictures with them. 

As much as we’d like to bounce on them, these adorable inflatables at Gardens by the Bay are only for display. Instead, sign up for trail activities to learn more about the garden as an ecosystem, or, join the nearby classes on terrarium-building and slime-making for a family day out.

For something unbearably adorable, try to find Bruno Bear, one of the seven mascots of Art-Zoo. Bruno is designed with a patchwork of colours, giving him a playful charm. Besides, how can one say no to such a grin?

Pets are allowed in the area too, so perhaps it’ll be a good idea to bring Chonker out for a walk. These inflatables at Gardens by the Bay probably look like huge squeaky toys to them — a dog’s dream come true.

Held till 3 October, the Art-Zoo Wonder Gardens is free to enter. Be sure to bring along water bottles to hydrate yourself and umbrellas as the weather can get humid!
