Asian Civilisations Museum, or ACM, ranks among the most important museums in Singapore. Standing beside the Singapore River, ACM occupies a restored historic building in the heart of the city.

ACM focuses on the diverse cultures and histories of Asia, especially those connected to Singapore’s roots. Galleries display artefacts from China, India, Southeast Asia, and West Asia, showing the depth of Asian heritage. Exhibits include everything from porcelain and gold ornaments to textiles, sculptures, and historical shipwreck artefacts.

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.

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.

With its fascinating galleries and central location, ACM is a must-visit for anyone here wanting to understand Singapore’s multicultural roots and Asia’s shared heritage.
