Marina Bay Sands hosts Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath at ArtScience Museum in Singapore until 1 November 2026. The exhibition occupies the museum’s Basement 2 galleries and turns OceanX exploration footage, contemporary art and scientific research into a journey through the ocean’s layers.
Into the Ocean runs until 1 November 2026
Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath opened on 6 June 2026 and remains on display through 1 November 2026. The ArtScience Museum presents it in collaboration with OceanX, a marine exploration and media organisation whose work supplies much of the moving-image material. The exhibition’s final phase is therefore the current visitor focus at the Singapore resort.
The exhibition moves from sunlit surface waters towards the deep sea. Its programme also includes From the Deep: New Ways of Knowing the Ocean, held on 1 October 2026 to mark the closing of Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath. A programme for the ocean exhibition lists the dates, galleries and related activities.
ArtScience Museum connects ocean science and art
The exhibition is divided into ocean environments, including the Photic Zone, Twilight Zone and Aphotic Zone. Visitors encounter footage from advanced submersibles alongside installations, specimens and interactive displays. The Photic Zone section reaches approximately 200 metres below the surface and includes coral research from the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum.
The connection between the exhibition and its venue is direct: ArtScience Museum’s galleries place marine research inside one of Singapore’s most recognisable structures. The museum forms part of Marina Bay Sands, whose three 57-storey hotel towers and SkyPark were designed by architect Moshe Safdie. The resort opened on 27 April 2010, while the museum’s lotus-shaped building contains exhibition spaces centred on an open atrium. Further architecture details for Marina Bay Sands are provided by the operator.
OceanX footage leads visitors from surface to seabed
The exhibition presents the ocean as one connected system rather than a sequence of isolated habitats. In the surface section, visitors can explore digital material about marine species and environmental DNA. Deeper galleries examine darkness, pressure, bioluminescence and the movement of animals between marine layers.
Artworks expand the scientific material through sound, light, scent and moving images. The listed contributors include Marshmallow Laser Feast, Marco Barotti, Jana Winderen, Robertina Šebjani?, Lachlan Turczan, Sissel Tolaas, Ong Kian Peng and bit.studio. Research partnerships include the University of Bristol, the National University of Singapore and the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum.
