Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art

Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art explores how desire, eroticism and the body have shaped artistic practice in the region, pulling rarely seen National Collection works alongside regional loans. It's a bold, R18-rated exhibition that's not shy about its subject — expect to see art that pushes past the polite.

The show runs from 24 Apr to 20 Sep 2026 in the City Hall Wing, Level 4 Gallery at National Gallery Singapore (1 St Andrew's Road). Tickets are $25 standard, $20 concession — and with the exhibition closing in under a month, this is your final stretch to catch it. Best for adults, given the rating.
