worth a visit and a couple of hours. just the shipwreck section is reason enough to visit.
good cafe in the building, with decent coffee. often have exhibitions, we saw the Angkor which was amazing. would have liked to have stuck with the free tour but it was going to take about 2 hours.

A place that will provide you such meaningful insights on the historical events that took place in and around Asia. The relics are so beautiful and significant. There’s a lot to understand and to learn and ACM serves as a good start to study our glorious past. It’s a must visit and trust me, once is not enough. Everytime you visit, you will definitely discover something new.

If you are fond of history you’ll find interesting facts in this museum. Actually it’s interesting to find out our connection with other Asian countries since I am from another Asian country.
I like all the facts about the sunken ship.

This place totally blew my mind. I wasn’t a fan of historical site but the exhibition items here are decent.
Comes with great historic antique and they are being well explained in a decent manner. The building is huge despite it outlook.
I spent 2 hours plus but could do more if not with family. Recommend for tourists. It just 5 minutes walk from Fullerton Hotel too.

A real treat to history lovers. Has all kind of religious and trade history of Asia in a well preserved way. Loved the experience. No need of any tour guides. Everything is explained in the guide. Make sure to collect one at the ticket counter.

This place is another one of those hidden gems of Singapore. It houses ancient sculptures and statues from the entire south-east Asian region, and China and India, and is a museum in a more traditional sense, quite different from the National Museum. The highlight of the display is of course the remains from the Tang shipwreck, recovered through underwater archaeology. The stash had an insane number of ceramic bowls being exported from China, which have survived almost unscathed, and are now displayed in a unique fashion. Also, check out the different Buddha statues from the region. From 8 April to 22 July, a special exhibit on Angkor Wat is going on, check out that as well. The best time to visit is on Friday evenings; the museum is open till extended hours (9 pm, instead of the usual 7 pm closure) and tickets are half-priced.

Love the antiques and earthen wares. There was so much to see that our legs went sore from walking around but surely it would entertain you if you are one to be interested in antiques and porcelains. There were some ebony and ivory furniture on display too. As well as historic specimens that showed Singapore's past

EMPRESS: Delicious Asian food done in an innovative way. the atmosphere is really nice with large windows looking out into the canals(Boat Quay), and lots of natural light. If you are driving, there isn't parking at the venue -- you have to park in a building nearby (eg: National Gallery)

I was surprised to find this museum organized thematically rather than by race or culture. It takes a holistic view and approach to the Asian Civilization. As a result, it avoids the ugly comparisons and competition between modern day countries where all these cultures resides today. The main themes are: Trade, Faith and Religion, Designs and Materials.
The museum comprises of the old colonial building and a new modern wing. The flow between the old and new building is confusing to the first time visitor.
Guided tours are available. I recommend taking advantage of these tours.

Amazing place to discover Asian cultures and appreciate family program! Building is wonderful and very tastefully restored.
Sabeena Prescod (20/11/2017 16:58)
A beautiful museum. Mostly full of pottery found in and around a shipwreck and some other artifacts from far between Chinese empires and the Middle East. There is another wing on religions opening in a few months. I enjoyed it, but if the aforementioned isn't your thing, this is not for you.
Luke Camery (19/11/2017 12:51)
Wonderful history museum covering Asian civilizations from ancient to modern eras. Very reasonable pricing given how expansive the collection is.
Eldad Askof (06/11/2017 01:31)
Went to visit there on Sunday - not much to see compared to the rest of the museums. Mainly Chinese heritage. Nice for a couple of hours
Nguyen An (08/09/2017 08:58)
Good museum with a lot of artifacts. Clean and well organized. The ticket price is alright

In my opinion it is nowhere near as good as the 5 star rating suggests. Most of the content is porcelain and earthenware, few interesting things as furniture or clothes or jewelry or weapons. The exhibitions themselves are kind of interesting but barely have a connecting theme which is trade. Some facts are repeated so if you start reading another wall of text you might get annoyed to find another three sentences that say that there was a lot of trade with China. A major annoyance is that names and descriptions of the exhibits are not placed individually in front of the exhibit but are on a separate sign (see picture). If for example you are interested in one of the twelve exhibits in a glass cube, you have to skim over all the description trying to figure out which belongs to which. This gets tiring very quickly and I didn't bother trying to understand what I was looking at after a while. The rooms themselves are nice and spacious. It's cheap so if you are close by and interested in earthenware and porcelain check it out, but I can't recommend it to anyone else.

I met a volunteer guide named Swan. She is a doctor and she has this hobby for 16 years. She is so elegant and so open to the public. I admire her and I think she is an example for us.
HM Choo (22/07/2017 16:53)
Nice display with periodic change of exhibitions. Was quite surprised that some of the artifacts are not kept behind glass casings. Eg, the stone figurines. Unknowing spent more than 2 hours here. Highly recommended if you love history.
Sienny Thio (13/07/2017 16:46)
Great museum with a lot of exhibits. It has three floors, not very big but quite nice regardless. The entrance fee isn't too expensive either
Lewis Redner (30/06/2017 16:16)
Very interesting museum with lots of exhibits. It's very well laid out and presents content in an interesting and engaging way.
Chaos Teo (30/06/2017 10:29)
Nice exhibits on Asian culture, but I feel it can show more about various aspects of life of the countries of Asia, rather than just showing artifacts
Syameer Faiz (23/06/2017 03:27)
It's a nice building with quite handful number of artefacts collection from all over the Asian continent. If you're lucky you might be able to join the tour which lasted for about an hour. While it's not really a big building I'd say about 1.5-2 hours visit should do it..
Konrad Dobson (06/06/2017 18:42)
Very interesting. A lot of beautifully intricately detailed artifacts. The Tang dynasty ship was interesting too.
Vicky Assarattanakul (30/05/2017 16:50)
While the museum itself is small, and doable in 2-3 hours, it houses a wide variety of artifacts from around Asia. I went during the Josen (Korea) exhibition, and I loved the artifacts and information on display. I am particularly interested in extant garments, and there were a few original pieces to view. There were also a few replicas, which appeared to be well done. I definitely recommend checking this museum out if you have the opportunity.
Wee-Cheng Tan (21/04/2017 05:26)
One of the best museums on Asian history and art. Excellent captions too. Highly recommended.
Natasha Dara (18/04/2017 16:51)
Lots of interesting artifacts. My favourites were probably 3rd floor performing arts room and 1st floor trade section's peranakan display box but lots of other good stuff too
Alfred Lee (04/04/2017 11:27)
Brilliant. Exhibits change every now and then. Translations are provided near the entrance of each gallery.. The display of the exhibits are executed brilliantly - with well cleaned glass and optimal lighting that prevents shadows or reflections that will mar your viewing experience. Can get a bit noisy during the weekends, of course. A bit hard to get to (particularly so when it rains) for those who drive. I think the nearest public carpark is at the Parliament House, which is a 5-7 minute unsheltered walk away.
Eric Chan (29/03/2017 03:09)
Used to house govt offices (NRIC and Immigration, I think - can't remember which). Now it has been renovated in current form to house / exhibit as a Museum - modern art installation and historic relics.
It's free entrance for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.
John Marston (06/03/2017 08:05)
If you're interested in history you should go there. There's a free, very informative tour and entry is pretty cheap (8$ adults/4$ children or students)
Tiffany Davy (02/03/2017 23:15)
Great information about historical asia. I particularly found the tour very informative and engaging. A little dry for small children.
Aldrin Tee (01/03/2017 04:04)
Beautifully restored and reconditioned historical building just next to the Singapore River. Contains beautiful and thought provoking artefacts from all over Asia. A great place to be if one desires to be around history and culture, and with the many al fresco bars and restaurants around the area, makes for a lovely afternoon tea or after dinner drinks.
Uday Shetty (17/02/2017 15:20)
Not a typical tourist place. However do visit this. When we visited there were very good exhibitions. We were highly impressed with this place.
Sam Tersigni (01/02/2017 13:02)
Very impressive exhibits, and entry is free until late February or March I believe! If you are at all interested in Asian history, I recommended this museum!
Andri Kristanto (08/10/2016 13:51)
This museum is quite complete to visit to understand asian and mostly singapore culture. It has a great collection of asian religion (budhist, moslem, and hinduism) and great collection of chinesse pottery works. The collection was not complete since it was being renovated the time i was there.
It is really helpful with the free guide tour from the museum for 1 hour.
Nicole Goh (13/09/2016 07:06)
Went for the Christianity in Asia exhibition. It is free for students. A very interesting insight into the historical context of Christianity in Asia. The exhibition connects to the other exhibitions in the museum which were all equally insightful and interesting!! A very good afternoon spent there.
Rob Hall (13/08/2016 08:01)
I think this place is mis-named. It is not a museum of various Asian cultures, it is a random collection of artefacts from various Asian cultures. Nicely presented with some decent explanations. But the overall expectation set by the museum is not met at all. Also about 50% of the floor space is being renovated at the moment so check that it is in full use before paying in.
Joseph Ong (12/08/2016 03:30)
Visited the ACM one hot Saturday afternoon recently. There was an exhibition of the Asian Christianity art of display. Christianity in Asia has a long history before Marco Polo. A lot of influence comes from the Indian sub-continent and also the Middle East. It seems that inter-religion acceptance back then was far more accommodating than modern times.
Philip Tanpoco (11/07/2016 06:38)
The shipwreck gallery is a must-see. Different from typical porcelain from China, this collection had strangely middle eastern design (maybe because it caters for middle eastern market). The greco-roman buddha at Level 2 is also must-see--you can see the fusion of eastern and western tradition on the sculpture.
Chandni Rajendran (06/07/2016 10:34)
Only part of the museum was open to visitors on the day I was there, so admission was free. The few sections I got to see had well presented display and quiet ambience. A very interesting place to spend time in.
Dervin L. (29/06/2016 15:57)
My visit to the Asian Civilisation Museum was wonderful as I got to see many interesting artefacts from the past. Would definitely recommend Singaporeans and Permanent Residents to visit as admissions is free.
Reuben Conceicao (01/06/2016 04:30)
My favorite museum in Singapore. A huge collection of cultures from across Asia. A must-visit for anyone.
Oskar Jung (29/05/2016 22:33)
Really cool expositions for a free museum! They actually featured some virtual reality headsets in one of the expositions which was really cool and engaging. Definitely worth checking out since it's in the city center and free!
Drew STH (11/05/2016 17:09)
Very interesting exhibitions and artefacts. Worth a visit. Free entry for Singw
