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.
ACM focuses on the diverse cultures and histories of Asia, especially those connected to Singapore’s roots. Permanent galleries feature artefacts from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. 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. Interactive displays let visitors learn about Asian beliefs, trade website history, and cultural practices.
ACM often hosts special exhibitions featuring rare artefacts from international museums or private collections. Families and school groups enjoy interactive workshops, guided tours, and cultural festivals held at ACM.
The museum’s riverfront location also means visitors can enjoy beautiful views and easy access to nearby attractions like Boat Quay and Clarke Quay.
Whether you’re a history lover or just curious about Asian culture, ACM offers something new every visit.
