Overview

Asian Civilisations Museum Located by the historic Singapore River, the Asian Civilisations Museum traces the cultural roots of Singaporeans. It features a diverse collection from Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, and West Asia. The first museum in the region with a focus on Asian cultures, the ACM also presents a programme of changing special exhibitions throughout the year. While Singapore's forefathers came to settle in Singapore from many parts of Asia within the last 200 years, the cultures brought to Singapore by these different people are far more ancient. This aspect of Singapore's history is the focus of the ACM. The Museum's collection, therefore, centers on the material cultures of the different groups originating from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. For those seeking a more detailed historical account of Singapore itself, the National Museum is a better museum choice.
