NileGuide Expert tip:

Entrance to the museum is half price on Friday evening 7pm-9pm

Description:

• The excellent Asian Civilisations Museum is housed in the Empress Building, a beautiful colonial building that presides over the Singapore River. The museum was set up to promote a better understanding of the rich cultures that make up Singapore's multi-ethnic society, so the eleven themed galleries explore Singapore's different ancestral groups, originating from China, South East Asia, South Asia and West Asia. The exhibition occupies over 14,000 square feet and safeguards over 13,000 artefacts.
  
  A series of multimedia and interactive elements, including virtual hosts, add interest and fun to the experience, while interactive ExplorAsian zones help bring the galleries to life for children.
