United Buddy Bears in Singapore for the First Time

Since 14 August 2025, the United Buddy Bears have been on display for the first time in Singapore, transforming the iconic Gardens by the Bay into a vibrant symbol of peace, cultural diversity and mutual respect.

The exhibition features 145 two-metre-tall bear sculptures, each created by an artist to reflect the people and culture of a different country. The bears do not represent political systems – they stand hand in hand for openness, dialogue and peaceful coexistence across borders.

The exhibition marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Germany and was officially opened by
Dinesh Vasu Dash (Minister for Culture, Community and Youth of Singapore), Bettina Fanghänel (German Ambassador to Singapore), Felix Loh (CEO of Gardens by the Bay), and Klaus Herlitz (Founder of Buddy Bear Berlin).

Thousands of visitors have already explored this international circle of peace and creativity. Admission is free.
