Asian Civilisations Museum, or ACM, ranks among the most important museums in Singapore. 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. Galleries display artefacts from China, India, Southeast Asia, and West Asia, showing the depth of Asian heritage. On display are ceramics, gold pieces, textiles, sacred art, and shipwreck treasures discovered in regional waters.

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.

The museum regularly organises special shows with loans from renowned museums worldwide. Workshops, guided tours, festivals, and website 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.

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.
