The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) in Singapore stands as the nation's premier institution showcasing Asian antiquities and decorative arts. It uniquely spans the breadth of Asia, exploring its rich artistic heritage through a collection of exceptional masterpieces and pioneering special exhibitions. ACM's focus lies in illuminating the historical interconnections among Asian cultures and civilizations, as well as the global exchanges facilitated by Singapore's history as a bustling port city.
ACM's collection originated from the colonial-era Raffles Library and Museum, primarily consisting of ethnological artifacts from Southeast Asia. These artifacts, ranging from crafts and tools to weapons and costumes, offer insights into the diverse cultures of the region. Over the years, ACM has expanded its collection to encompass West Asia/the Islamic world and South Asia, reflecting the roots of Singapore's diverse ethnic groups in Asia's varied cultures and civilizations.
Today, ACM boasts one of the region's most extensive collections, curated across three thematic floors: Maritime Trade, Faith & Belief, and Materials & Design. Through its exhibits, ACM tells compelling stories of trade, cultural exchange, and the evolution of beliefs and religions across Asia and beyond.
