The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), in collaboration with international tea brand CHAGEE and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), presents Garden of Senses: A Tea Reverie, a multi-sensory showcase exploring the rich social significance of tea across Asia through art installations and interactive experiences.
Engaging our five senses – sight, scent, sound, touch, taste, and the sense of thought, this contemporary showcase reveals how tea drinking reflects the rhythms of human life, turning a simple cup into a moment of mindfulness that spans across cultures and time. The showcase will run from 28 January to 7 June 2026 at the Asian Civilisations Museum.
CHAGEE’s Asian Civilisations Museum pop-up store is also set to open its doors to members of the public in early February this year. The pop-up will operate until 7 June, featuring showcase-exclusive merchandise available only at this location.
The Showcase: A Journey Through the Senses
Exclusive to the showcase is a specially designed CHAGEE Pony Plushie Charm, available in two colourways.
Inspired by horses that once carried tea across ancient trade routes, the charm reflects movement, exchange and connection. The inclusion of Singapore’s Merlion references the Lion City and the Singapore River, where the showcase and CHAGEE’s ACM pop-up store is located. The teapot included is thoughtfully inspired by the tea vessels presented by the Asian Civilisations Museum. The overall design subtly brings tea heritage and Singapore’s iconic landmark together.
Following the opening of CHAGEE’s ACM pop-up store in early February, All Access ticket holders can purchase the limited-edition light blue variant in-store as a bundled set, while stocks last. Simply present the purchase voucher included with the All Access Ticket at the CHAGEE counter to purchase. A light brown variant will be available to walk-in customers as a bundled add-on, while stocks last. Each customer is limited to two Pony Plushie Charm Bundles per day.
The CHAGEE Riverfront Pop-up
CHAGEE’s Asian Civilisations Museum pop-up store by the Singapore River offers curated selections from CHAGEE’s beverage menu, along with a carefully selected range of merchandise, including items previously only available in CHAGEE stores in China.
This pop-up is a temporary takeover, and Baker & Cook is scheduled to resume its services in July 2026. For more information, please refer to official announcements from Baker & Cook social media pages.
