About Asian Civilisations Museum

Housed in a neoclassical heritage building along the Singapore River, the Asian Civilisations Museum explores centuries of artistic and cultural exchange across the continent. Visitors come to trace historical trade routes through masterfully curated galleries featuring ancestral sacred art, imperial textiles, and rare maritime cargo recovered from the 9th-century Tang Shipwreck.
