From Netflix, the Titan series is now brought to you LIVE at the ArtScience Museum, where visitors will be able to step into a world where humanity's existence is threatened by gigantic humanoids at Attack on Titan: The Exhibition, that opens on 19 February 2022.
Based on the best-selling Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama, the exhibition will draw visitors into his visionary imagination, introducing his intricate worldbuilding and vivid characters.
Organised by SPACElogic, Attack on Titan: The Exhibition premiered in Southeast Asia at ArtScience Museum during the highly-anticipated release of The Final Season Part 2 of the anime adaptation on Netflix in February 2022.
As viewers watch the culmination of the saga, visitors to ArtScience Museum will encounter Hajime Isayama’s master storytelling and artistic vision over the past decade. Featuring over 180 artworks by Hajime Isayama ranging from the manga's earliest days to the present, Attack on Titan: The Exhibition will also showcase new pieces that have not been displayed anywhere else in the world, alongside drafts and sketches from his archives. Visitors and fans alike will soon be able to step into Hajime Isayama's sprawling dystopia, which will include an immersive animated battle sequence set in The Great Titan Theatre as well as displays of Titans, characters, and objects from the manga.
“ArtScience Museum is delighted to be working with SPACElogic and the Attack on Titan team in Japan to bring this cultural phenomenon to Singapore for the first time. With Attack on Titan: The Exhibition, our visitors will encounter the creative vision behind one of the world's most successful manga stories, seeing why the series has gained such international acclaim for its compelling characters, complex themes and technical artistry,” said Honor Harger, Vice President of Attractions, Marina Bay Sands.
“Launching this exhibition as Attack on Titan's latest episodes reach our screens couldn't be more timely. At first glance, Hajime Isayama’s science fiction world may seem remote to the reality we live in now. However, if we dig deeper into Attack on Titan, themes like hope and perseverance emerge as common threads. We also witness the resilience and resourcefulness of the characters as they overcome the consequences of an epidemic in their own world. Stories such as Attack on Titan provide many of us with a sense of escapism, but they can also remind us of our humanity and courage when facing difficult circumstances,” added Harger.
“As the global phenomenon of Japan's manga industry continues to rise, we wanted to showcase a unique experience that delves deeper into the world of Attack on Titan. This is an especially significant journey for SL Experiences as it is our very first licensed exhibition, which we hope to bring many more of in the future. We are truly honoured to be bestowed the trust of the Attack on Titan committee and PIA Global to develop an experience that would befit this multi- award winning Japanese manga created by Hajime Isayama.
Making its premiere in Southeast Asia at ArtScience Museum, we hope that everyone can experience the beauty of this hugely successful manga as the exhibition offers one of the biggest and most comprehensive experience for visitors,” said Augustus Peh, Chairman and Founder of SPACElogic and SL Experiences.
The first iteration of Attack on Titan: The Exhibition attracted over 450,000 visitors during its presentation across Japan from 2014 and 2015. It has since expanded to incorporate new artwork and content from the final chapters of the manga. This presentation at ArtScience Museum marks the overseas debut of the exhibition in its latest form.
Attack on Titan fans will be able to buy exclusive merchandise that can only be found at the exhibition store and pose with their favourite characters and Titans at a photobooth.
Attack on Titan: The Exhibition will run from 19 February to 3 July 2022.
Tickets and Reservations Tickets are available for purchase from 20 January at all Marina Bay Sands box offices and website. Due to limited capacity and timed entry of the exhibition, guests are also strongly encouraged to pre-purchase tickets online prior to their visit.
