Contemporary Preschool Programme. Running from 23 August to 13 September 2025 at HarbourFront Centre, this free exhibition showcases the creativity of preschoolers from 24 schools across Singapore.
As the nation marks its 60th birthday, the exhibition invites visitors to see Singapore’s past, present, and future through the playful yet thoughtful perspectives of its youngest generation.
