Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures
31 Oct 2025 – 30 Aug 2026
With its dazzling feathers and spectacular tail, the peacock has long symbolised beauty, power, and divinity across Asia. Its image travelled widely, inspiring sacred imagery, luxury ornament, and everyday adornment. Shaped by diverse cultural influences, Peranakan art provides an ideal starting point for this journey. Each object invites us to consider how a motif moved between regions and contexts, revealing the networks that connect peoples and how artistic traditions evolve through exchange.
