An interactive exploration of devotion, fandom and our fascination with pop culture

Step inside a colourful realm where devotion takes unexpected forms, as everyday objects reveal how admiration grows into shared identity. Personal treasures appear alongside inventive installations that chart the rituals through which fans express connection and care. Each piece hints at the values people project onto the figures who shape their lives, inviting visitors to consider how cultural icons influence belonging.

Holy Pop! offers an energetic study of devotion in a fast-changing world, encouraging reflection on why these emotional attachments continue to matter for so many audiences today.
