Children’s Season 2023 Across Museums In Singapore

The annual Children’s Season returns to celebrate young ideas and aspirations! Themed Hopes and Dreams, Children’s Season 2023 invites young ones to explore different occupations and inventions in past and present Singapore and be inspired to discover who they may want to be in the future. With unlimited imagination, they might even think up a new job or role that is yet unknown!

Main Highlight – Comic Art Workshops:

The highlight program for Children’s Season 2023 is a series of 30 comic art
workshops to be conducted by 14 talented local artists and arts educators. This will be the
first time that NHB and the MR are hosting comic art workshops across the participating
museums for Children’s Season. The workshops aim to introduce the museums to the young
ones through hands-on and immersive experiences, as well as to impart many kinds of
visual communication skills and provide opportunities for families to spend time together.

Held across 10 participating museums and galleries, the comic art workshops will
allow you to create your very own comic artwork, with inspiration drawn from the rich content available at each venue, be it artifacts, items, or themes. All 30 sessions will feature
themes unique to each session. The range of skills that can be picked up by participants
includes story-telling techniques, conceptualizing story structures, drawing inspiration from
everyday life, character design, drawing expressions, creating thought and word balloons,
adding depth and dimension to drawings, producing mini-books, costume design, and
environmental design.

A Variety of Family-friendly Programs by Museum Roundtable Members:

Aside from the comic art workshops, the 25 participating MR museums will also offer
their own curated programs for Children’s Season 2023, in line with the theme of Hopes
and Dreams.

For example, young visitors to NUS Museum can Be an Archaeologist for a Day! MINT Museum of Toys’ Colour Your Own AR Toy invites you to design your own Augmented Reality toy!

Children’s Season Passport Stamps Collection Activity:

The Children’s Season’s passport stamps collection activity also returns this year!
Families can visit any of the 25 participating MR museums to collect a “passport” and start
collecting uniquely designed passport stamp imprints as well as in all other participating
museums. The passport’s design and artwork are inspired by the comic art theme as well as
the many different occupations and diversity of the participating museums. Stamp collectors
also stand a chance to win special prizes once they have completed any of the three-tiered
milestones in their passport, based on the number of stamps collected.
