Pop Air by The Balloon Museum is set to blow us away, transforming Marina Bay Sands into a playground of giant inflatables, trippy lights, and interactive installations from June 13 to August 31, 2025.

Hailing all the way from Rome, this immersive exhibition is packed with jaw-dropping installations, from towering inflatables that fill the space to delicate sculptures that redefine what air can do. Expect interactive and digital pieces that blur the lines between reality and imagination, proving that inflatable art is anything but full of hot air.

This isn’t your typical ‘hands-off’ gallery either – atPop Air, visitors will become part of the art. Weave through balloon labyrinths and dive into balloon pools, snapping plenty of photos along the way. The exhibition guarantees something for everyone – kids will love the hands-on fun, while grown-ups can appreciate the mind-bending creativity in store.

For those who like a little history with their art, a special video gallery traces the rise of Inflatable Art – from the early air-filled experiments of hot air balloon inventors Montgolfier brothers, to Jeff Koons’ iconic Balloon Dog.

The artists that are part of this are all heavyweights in the world of inflatable art. There’s Cyril Lancelin, whose massiveKnot structure is part maze, part optical illusion; Karina Smigla-Bobinski, who mixes science and creativity with her interactive piece POLYHEADRA; and Hyperstudio, the team behind Hypercosmo, a sprawling 1,000 sqm dreamscape of latex balloons and kinetic lights.
