The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is one of Singapore’s top cultural attractions. Set along the Singapore River at Empress Place, ACM’s grand colonial architecture is part of its appeal.

The museum showcases the many Asian cultures that have shaped Singapore’s identity. 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. Other popular galleries focus on faith and belief, trade and connections, and everyday website life in ancient Asia.

ACM often hosts special exhibitions featuring rare artefacts from international museums or private collections. There are workshops for kids, family-friendly events, and guided walks to enhance your visit.

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

For locals and tourists alike, a trip to the Asian Civilisations Museum is a rewarding look into the region’s colourful past and vibrant traditions.
