All Things Singapore 2026

All Things Singapore (AT SG) 2026 invites visitors to uncover the myths, legends and hidden stories woven into Singapore’s past. It’s organised by the National Library Board (NLB) and held in conjunction with the Singapore Night Festival 2026, running until 5 September.

Centred around the theme of “Myths and Legends”, AT SG brings Singapore’s stories to life through immersive art installations, interactive experiences, live performances and hands-on activities across the National Library Building and National Archives of Singapore (NAS), inspired by the rich collections of the National Library and NAS.

Key highlights and programmes for All Things Singapore include:

• Lovebug by ART-ZOO, a co-commissioned outdoor inflatable experience that reimagines the long tradition of local myths shaped by animals and native plants.
• Island of Memory and Myth, a display of an interactive map where every stop reveals a different local legend. Plus, an old-school vinyl records jukebox soundscape playing archival sounds of local shores from the NAS collection.
• The Legend of the Garfish, a phygital adventure hunt.
• Whispers Behind the Stacks, a tabletop role-playing game. Participants step into the shoes of 1950s archivists and researchers investigating a rediscovered cache of forgotten horror manuscripts from colonial Malaya, slowly uncovering disturbing truths hidden within the archive itself.
• Film screenings in collaboration with the Asian Film Archive and the Singapore Night Festival. The line-up includes The Oily Man, Tiger Stripes, and Roh.
• Listening party with DJ Vinceshi and Live Art, featuring tracks inspired by regional folklore, while a live mural artist transforms a blank canvas into a bold artwork unfolding in real time.
• Islands’ Treasure Hunt, a a myth-filled treasure hunt through the “Islands of Memory and Myth” display at the National Archives of Singapore. Uncover clues hidden within the stories to solve a series of puzzles. Complete the hunt and redeem a special token as proof of your quest.
