Discover the vibrant artistic heritage of Asia at the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), with a special focus on the ancestral cultures that have shaped Singapore’s identity. Founded in 1997 and housed in its iconic riverside building along the Singapore River since 2003, the museum traces its origins to the historic Raffles Museum of the mid-19th century.

ACM invites visitors to explore how Asian cultures are deeply interconnected with one another and with the wider world. Drawing on Singapore’s unique history as a global port city, the museum brings Asia’s past to life through stories of trade, migration, and cultural exchange.
