Get ready for a massive dose of colour and culture this December. The highly-anticipated blockbuster exhibition, Pop After Pop: Art Around Us, is finally landing at National Gallery Singapore on December 11, 2026. In a landmark collaboration with New York’s Guggenheim Museum, the gallery is bringing hundreds of masterpieces by legendary Western artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, and Barbara Kruger right to our doorstep. In fact, it’s going to be the largest Pop Art group exhibition ever staged in Southeast Asia. Read on to find out more.
Southeast Asia’s largest Pop Art exhibition
Spanning multiple levels of the gallery, the iconic takeover will feature over 200 dynamic artworks by more than 100 artists. What makes this showcase truly special is how it pairs these household names with leading contemporary voices from our own region.
Expect to see bold and thought-provoking pieces by Singapore’s own Ming Wong, Thailand’s Manit Sriwanichpoom, Indonesia’s FX Harsono, as well as the Philippines’ Ronald Ventura and Antipas Delotavo.
Meanwhile, the exhibition is a rare chance to see a wonderful Southeast Asian perspective on the global pop art movement and how artists respond to political realities and social shifts within art.
Additionally, National Gallery announced there’ll be a special BTS-inspired art programme, launching alongside this art exhibition for K-pop fans. Wonderfully, BTS The City Arirang Art Trail will pair 14 specific works from the showcase with songs from Arirang. Definitely, a fun new way to experience art. Be sure to grab tickets for this specific event on November 17.
Over opening weekend on December 12, expect a full day of family-friendly activities for Saturday Goes Pop! This includes an exclusive afternoon Curatorial Roundtable featuring experts from both the gallery and the Guggenheim.
