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. 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.

One highlight is the Tang Shipwreck collection—a trove of Chinese artefacts recovered from a 9th-century shipwreck. There are also special sections on religion, ancient trade routes, and daily life in Asian civilisations.

Special exhibitions bring unique artefacts to Singapore that you rarely see elsewhere. Families website 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 wanting to understand Singapore’s multicultural roots and Asia’s shared heritage.
