SINGAPORE – ArtScience Museum opens a virtual door into a new frontier of museum experience with the launch of its new permanent VR Gallery. Opening on 10 July, the VR Gallery at Level 4 of ArtScience Museum celebrates curiosity, innovation and experimentation through virtual reality artworks.

Equipped with state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) headsets and controllers, the VR Gallery invites visitors to encounter unique immersive experiences from some of the world’s most renowned artists, museums and film festivals. Opening as part of ArtScience Museum’s 10th anniversary programme, the VR Gallery launches with a presentation of virtual reality artworks by three of the world’s best known contemporary artists – Olafur Eliasson, Marina Abramović and Anish Kapoor.
