The Doraemon Exhibition - Doraemon is coming to Singapore!

One of Japan's most beloved characters, Doraemon has entertained audiences around the world for over 5 decades.

‍

From 5 Nov 2022 to 5 Feb 2023 you can experience this cultural phenomenon through the works of renowned contemporary Japanese artists such as Takashi Murakami, Mika Ninagawa and Yoshitomo Nara.

‍

Presented by LEYOUKI in collaboration with the National Museum of Singapore, the exhibition pulls together a selection of contemporary artworks that reimagine Doraemon in our changing world, and celebrates its long lasting appeal and impact on contemporary culture.

Original drawings from legendary Doraemon creator and artist Fujiko Fujio will also be exhibited alongside these works.

The exhibition invites you to consider your own relationships and memories of Doraemon, and how this lovable character has grown with you over the years.
