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.

It specialises in Asian history, highlighting the connections between different cultures that make up modern Singapore. Permanent galleries feature artefacts from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. You’ll see ancient ceramics, gold jewellery, textiles, religious website statues, and even rare shipwreck finds.

A must-see is the Tang Shipwreck collection, featuring artefacts from a centuries-old sunken ship. Interactive displays let visitors learn about Asian beliefs, trade history, and cultural practices.

Special exhibitions bring unique artefacts to Singapore that you rarely see elsewhere. There are workshops for kids, family-friendly events, and guided walks to enhance your visit.

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 something new every visit.
