Wine enthusiasts and culture vultures, À TABLE! is an immersive journey through the art of French winemaking – with a dramatic twist. Hosted at Alliance Française, this multi-sensory programme blends theatre, art, music and wine into one intoxicating experience. You’ll move room-to-room in an interactive theatre performance, witnessing poetic scenes that celebrate France’s viticultural heritage. Next, wander an exhibition that traces the rich tapestry of French wine regions, complete with aroma stations to sniff out notes of oak, citrus, or berry (training those somm skills). There’s even a music-and-wine segment: taste three curated wines that mirror the emotional arcs of early 20th-century French music, accompanied by live performances of piano, drums, dance and visual art. It’s part tasting, part performance, and totally ooh-la-la. Best of all, the entire programme is free entry – giving you more budget to spend on a nice bottle of Bordeaux afterwards!

Tea lovers, this one’s for you. The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) has brewed up an exhibition called Garden of Senses: A Tea Reverie that will steep you in the art, culture, and even the sounds of tea. Created in collaboration with contemporary teahouse CHAGEE, this multi-sensory journey engages all five senses (and even a “sense of thought”) across five themed zones. In one gallery, inhale the aromas of teas from around the world; in another, feel the weight of archaic 300-year-old tea tools in your hands. You can listen to an ASMR soundscape of tea being brewed and poured – surprisingly soothing, we must say. The visual centrepiece is a stunning installation of paper art tea leaves seemingly floating in mid-air. There’s even an outdoor CHAGEE pop-up along the river where you can sip modern tea drinks and snag exclusive merch like horse-themed plushies. It’s an immersive east-meets-west experience that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for that humble cup of teh.
Admission fee: From $12

Dive into the world of contemporary art and sustainability with this thought-provoking installation at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM). Nafas dan Bumi – An Endless Harvest showcases works by Indonesian artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega, exploring the environmental cost of economic growth in our modern world. The exhibition’s title means “Breath and Earth” in Indonesian, hinting at its focus on how our planet’s resources (and people) are stretched in the name of progress. Inside, you’ll find an immersive environment that blends kinetic sculptures, multimedia art and even living plants. Marvel at dramatic palm oil and batik sculptures depicting plantation labourers and the legacy of colonisation. Interact (carefully) with mechanical installations powered by biofeedback from real plants – yes, the flora itself drives parts of the art! It’s trippy, eye-opening and eerily beautiful. Wandering through, you’ll reflect on questions like: what mark will today’s consumer products leave on tomorrow’s world? And can the “endless harvest” of Earth’s resources truly go on… endlessly? Heavy questions, but delivered in a visually stunning way that will leave you both inspired and a little more eco-conscious.
Admission fee: $15 (Singapore residents $10; concessions available)
Address: Singapore Art Museum (SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark), 39 Keppel Road, S(089065)

Over at the newly revamped Peranakan Museum, Peacock Power is spreading its colourful plumage. This exhibition celebrates the majestic peacock and its influence on art and culture, especially in Asia. On display are more than 100 artefacts – from intricate Peranakan wedding gowns embroidered with peacock motifs, to antique ceramic vases painted with the bird’s likeness. You’ll discover how the peacock symbolises everything from beauty and dignity in Chinese culture to immortality in Persian lore. A highlight is Thousand Eyes, a show-stopping contemporary installation by Singaporean artist Ernest Goh: it reinterprets the peacock’s train of feathers in an ecological context, prompting us to consider wildlife conservation. Tech elements add extra fun – there are holographic displays teaching you about different peacock species (did you know there’s a white peacock?) and interactive stations where you can “design” your own digital peacock pattern. Whether you’re an art lover, culture buff, or just think peacocks are darn cool, this exhibit is a feast for the eyes (all thousand of them). Don your most colourful outfit and strut in – you might leave feeling as proud as a peacock!

Usher in spring with a floral extravaganza at Gardens by the Bay’s Flower Dome. The Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity display celebrates the Year of the Horse with a majestic herd of eight larger-than-life horse lanterns – each towering 2.6 metres tall amidst a sea of vibrant blooms. Stroll through picturesque gardens filled with auspicious flowers like peonies and plum blossoms, meticulously arranged in honour of Lunar New Year. The kiddos will love spotting all eight golden horses “galloping” through the flora, symbolising luck and success. On weekends, make sure to join the decoupage workshops where children (and adults!) can create their own floral canvas bag keepsake – a fun hands-on treat after admiring all the blossoms. It’s a delightful way to experience the beauty of springtime and snap some gorgeous photos.
