In Singapore, the Asian Civilisations Museum is a leading place to learn about Asia’s rich heritage. Standing beside the Singapore River, ACM occupies a restored historic building in the heart of the city.
ACM focuses on the diverse cultures and histories of Asia, especially those connected to Singapore’s roots. Galleries display artefacts from China, India, Southeast Asia, and West Asia, showing the depth of Asian heritage. You’ll see ancient ceramics, gold jewellery, textiles, religious statues, and even rare shipwreck finds.
A must-see is the Tang Shipwreck collection, featuring artefacts from a centuries-old sunken ship. There are also special sections on religion, ancient trade routes, and daily life in Asian civilisations.
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.
Its spot by the river makes it easy to combine a visit with dining or sightseeing at Boat Quay or Clarke Quay.
Whether you’re a history lover or just curious about Asian culture, ACM offers website something new every visit.
