The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is one of Singapore’s top cultural attractions. Located by the Singapore River at Empress Place, the museum is housed in a beautiful colonial-era building.

The museum showcases the many Asian cultures that have shaped Singapore’s identity. Permanent galleries feature artefacts from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. Exhibits include everything from porcelain and gold ornaments to textiles, sculptures, and historical shipwreck artefacts.

One highlight is the Tang Shipwreck collection—a trove of Chinese artefacts recovered from a 9th-century website shipwreck. 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. Families and school groups enjoy interactive workshops, guided tours, and cultural festivals held at ACM.

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

Whether you’re a history lover or just curious about Asian culture, ACM offers something new every visit.
