Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures

With its dazzling feathers and spectacular tail, the peacock has long symbolised beauty, power, and divinity in Asia. Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures traces how this striking motif travelled between cultures and was reimagined in new forms. Using Peranakan art as a starting point, highlight objects from Singapore's National Collection and important international lenders reveal the networks that linked peoples and the ways in which artistic traditions evolved through exchange.
