Singapore's New Majestic Hotel recently turned their lobby into a pop-up dedicated to local culture. The Space Program, initiated by Foreign Policy Design Group, consolidates some of the city's most compelling art and retail into a destination experience for hotel guests and visitors.
New Majestic explains that the project "aims to create a platform to promote the understanding of the Singapore cultural heritage, not through a passive and didactic format but to achieve active engagement by means of bringing together a selection of objects that references the Singapore heritage and landscape, curated from independent local establishments that are the tastemakers of the contemporary popular culture in Singapore."
Of course The Space Program is only meant to be a primer to the city. The New Majestic envisions The Space Program popping up in other locations in the near future, inspiring wanderlust foreigners to book their next trip to Singapore.
