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. 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 shipwreck. Interactive displays let visitors learn about Asian beliefs, trade 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.
