For the first time, Gardens by the Bay has water lilies on display - the subject of many of Monet’s paintings.
Of the 10 varieties of water lilies, eight were sourced from the Latour-Marliac nursery in France, where Monet also obtained his water lilies back in the 19th century.
Other highlights include recreations of Monet’s house and gardens.
