Flesh And Bones: The Art of Anatomy is now running at ArtScience Museum until 16 August 2026, and it is one of the stronger museum choices for readers who like exhibitions that sit between science, history and visual culture. The show occupies Level 3 Galleries 0 to 9 and looks at anatomy as more than a medical diagram.
ArtScience Museum describes the exhibition as a study of the body as medicine, cosmos and vessel for thinking about life, transformation and afterlife. That framing is useful because it tells visitors not to expect only clinical drawings. The exhibition brings art, cultural practice and scientific looking into the same room.
What The Exhibition Covers
The show begins from a familiar idea: for centuries, the human body has been examined through medicine, art and scientific investigation. Renaissance anatomical atlases changed how medical knowledge was visualised, but ArtScience Museum also makes clear that anatomy has never belonged to one tradition alone.
That broader approach is the reason the exhibition may interest students, healthcare workers, design-minded visitors and anyone curious about how people have imagined the body across time. Anatomy is not only about naming organs. It is also about what a society thinks a body means, how it should be cared for, and what happens when it fails.
Visitors who dislike graphic body material should still read the official exhibition notes before going. An anatomy exhibition can include sensitive or confronting material even when presented in an art-science context. Parents should decide whether the show suits their child’s age and temperament.
Tickets And Pairings
Marina Bay Sands lists Singapore resident tickets from S$19.50 for adults and S$16.50 for concessions, with tourist tickets from S$22 for adults and S$18 for concessions. Prices are before any applicable offers and should be checked on the official ticketing page.
There is also a useful pairing with the Evolver VR experience, because ArtScience Museum lists a S$5 special for Evolver VR extended to Flesh And Bones ticket holders. If both fit your interest, do the exhibition first, then the shorter VR experience.
The related Contours Of Being film programme takes the body conversation into cinema, with weekend screenings about ageing, care and memory. That makes ArtScience Museum unusually coherent this season if you want a full body-focused arts day.
