Asian Civilisations Museum

The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) presents the art and history of Asia through the lens of Singapore as a cosmopolitan Asian port city — connecting people and cultures in Asia and beyond. As the only museum in the region with a pan-Asian scope, ACM is devoted to exploring the rich artistic heritage of Asia through our outstanding collection of masterpieces and ground - breaking special exhibitions. Opened in 1997 and in its present building by the Singapore River since 2003, the museum traces its roots to the Raffles Museum, founded in the middle of the 19th century.

ACM celebrates Asian art, craft, and imagination through four broad cross- cultural themes — Maritime Trade, Faith and Belief, Materials and Design, and Peranakan art and culture.
