1. Asian Civilisations Museum<\/h3>\n

Otherwise known as ACM, this museum plays host to Asian antiquities and decorative art. It’s the only museum in Asia with a pan-Asian scope, and it’s right here in our humble Civic District. You’ll see masterpieces at groundbreaking exhibitions, which often focus on Asia and its connections to the world. The museum has grown through acquisition, donations, and loans from private collectors, making it one of the most comprehensive in the region. Explore the three floors themed by maritime trade, faith and belief, and materials and design.

For a glimpse into rich Peranakan heritage, you gotta drop by this museum. The gallery possesses one of the most comprehensive collections of Peranakan paraphernalia, with each floor covering different aspects of the culture. Begin on the first floor and learn about the origins and roots of the Peranakan people. Next, move to the second and third floors to get a better understanding of ceramics, food culture, community, fashion, and decorative textiles.

Make it a family day out and take your tots to the first museum in Singapore dedicated to kids. Your little ones will experience the spark of wonder and the power of play in a child-friendly environment. It’s highly recommended that you book a visiting timeslot because entry to the museum is based on capacity, and you may not get the chance to browse the gallery if you choose to walk in spontaneously. Fun exhibitions include A Voyage Back in Time, Imagine A Garden and Play Pod.
