In Singapore, the Asian Civilisations Museum is a leading place to learn about Asia’s rich heritage. Set along the Singapore River at Empress Place, ACM’s grand colonial architecture is part of its appeal.

ACM focuses on the diverse cultures and histories of Asia, especially those connected to Singapore’s roots. Visitors can explore galleries filled with treasures from China, Southeast Asia, India, and the Islamic world. Exhibits include everything from porcelain and gold ornaments to textiles, sculptures, and historical shipwreck artefacts.

A must-see is the Tang Shipwreck collection, featuring artefacts from a centuries-old sunken ship. Other popular galleries focus on faith and belief, trade and connections, and everyday life in ancient Asia.

Special exhibitions bring unique artefacts to Singapore that you rarely see elsewhere. Families and school groups enjoy interactive workshops, guided tours, and cultural festivals held at ACM.

Its spot by the river makes it easy to combine a visit with dining or sightseeing at Boat Quay or Clarke Quay.

With its fascinating galleries here and central location, ACM is a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand Singapore’s multicultural roots and Asia’s shared heritage.
