In Singapore, the Asian Civilisations Museum is a leading place to learn about Asia’s rich heritage. Located by the Singapore River at Empress Place, the museum is housed in a beautiful colonial-era building.

ACM focuses on the diverse cultures and histories of Asia, especially those connected to Singapore’s roots. Permanent galleries feature artefacts from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. Exhibits include everything from porcelain and gold ornaments to textiles, sculptures, and historical shipwreck artefacts.

One highlight is the Tang Shipwreck collection—a trove of Chinese artefacts recovered from a 9th-century shipwreck. Interactive displays let visitors here learn about Asian beliefs, trade history, and cultural practices.

The museum regularly organises special shows with loans from renowned museums worldwide. Workshops, guided tours, festivals, and hands-on activities make it engaging for families and students.

Being in the city centre along the river makes it simple to explore nearby restaurants or take a riverside stroll after your museum trip.

Whether you’re a history lover or just curious about Asian culture, ACM offers something new every visit.
