Wings of a Rich Manoeuvre by homegrown artist Suzann Victor presents a chorus of eight kinetic chandeliers that “sing” with movement as they sway in a dramatic mid-air choreography of light.

Free admission for Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents and visitors aged 6 and below

Let yourself be mesmerised by a symphony of movement and light in this otherwordly display, installed high above the bridge linking the National Museum’s 19th-century building with its modern glass wing.

Each chandelier is constructed and shaped from stainless steel and studded with a sparkling array of precision-cut Swarovski crystals accentuated by LED light. Together, the chandeliers create breathtaking aerial calligraphy as they morph from one hypnotic pattern to another, creating the illusion of glittery wings wisping across the sky.
