Asian Civilisations Museum, or ACM, ranks among the most important museums in Singapore. 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. You’ll see ancient ceramics, gold jewellery, textiles, religious statues, and even rare shipwreck finds.

The famous Tang Shipwreck exhibit shows how international trade linked Asia centuries ago. 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. Workshops, guided tours, festivals, and hands-on activities make it engaging for families and students.

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

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