Chinese toymaker Pop Mart's collectible character Skullpanda is heading to the National Museum of Singapore for an immersive exhibit.
The company behind the Labubu line of toys has teamed up with the museum and the Singapore Tourism Board to present the Skullpanda Cage-Uncage Showcase.
Open from 12 December through 22 February 2026, the immersive and multi-sensory showcase will allow fans to engage with the Skullpanda character.
The exhibit, which made its debut earlier this year in Shanghai, China, explores the artistic craft behind collectible design and culture.
It was produced by Pop Mart in collaboration with Skullpanda creator and artist Xiong Miao.
Justin Moon, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Pop Mart, said the showcase explores "deeper themes through collectible design".
Guests will see large-scale art installations and sculptures featuring Skullpanda, interactive opportunities, and immersive environments.
