The exhibition launched at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore and then moved to the Western Australia Museum in Perth, before continuing its global tour. By hosting a digital model of Virtual Realms online, we invite you to engage with the exhibition and explore its spaces and content. The exhibition can also be experienced in virtual reality with an Oculus headset where visitors can interact with each other in the virtual environment.
