A Living Museum for Bukit Gombak
Interactive Public Installation, Bukit Gombak MRT Viaduct Space, as part of Singapore Art Week 2025

A Living Museum for Bukit Gombak is a public art initiative that transforms viaduct columns into community cabinets of curiosities. By reimagining urban infrastructure as vessels for storytelling, the artwork invites residents to elevate everyday objects and personal memories into meaningful cultural artefacts that inspire exploration and discovery. Inspired by the meaning of 'gombak' in Malay, which translates to "a collection of something," each cabinet intertwines the narratives of Bukit Gombak's community life through shared everyday experiences, facilitating the exchange of new discoveries in the neighborhood through its material culture.  

​This project is led by artist Quek Jia Qi, as part of NACxLTA Art Under Viaduct Spaces, supported by Land Transport Authority (LTA), National Arts Council (NAC) and Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) and People’s Association (PA)
