I enjoyed visiting this museum in 2022. It has amazing collections of Chinese dishes and jewellery from ancient times. It's worth visiting - highly recommended.
Highly recommend this museum. We just accidentally found this place while walking to merlion, and we did not have any regrets going here. lots of display exhibitions.
A great way to spend a couple of hours pondering the history of certain regions in Asia. Not a large museum, but houses some really impressive relics.
Excellent, extensive, comprehensive, and very informative.
This is a superbly created museum with extremely good written explanations as to why the exhibit is included, how it is different across Asia, and what its significance is.
Would recommend this is on any visitors list to do when they visit.

I enjoyed my time visiting this museum. It has amazing collections!! I love the ancient and religions section the most, the room was dim but with great spotlight it showcases the collection so well I love taking a moment to stare at the collections. I also love the jewelry section, some of it is interactive where I can take a look closely about the jewelry in detail. They give you a map and recommend the section you can visit in row.
The Asian Civilisations Museum, located in the heart of Singapore, is a cultural gem that unveils the rich diversity of Asian heritage. Spanning diverse civilizations, the museum showcases a captivating array of artifacts, artworks, and stories that narrate the history, traditions, and cultural splendors of Asia. From ancient civilizations to contemporary expressions, the museum offers a journey through time, providing visitors with a profound understanding of the interconnectedness and diversity of Asian cultures.
I truly recommend the special exhibition Manila Galleon, from Asia to Americas (18 Nov 2023 - 17 Mar 2024) that showcases works of art from the trade that connected Asia to the Americas during four centuries.
Adult entrance tickets fee is 25SG$ and 20SG$ for children and students. Free for Singaporeans citizens.

A really great place to learn about the history and the rich culture of Singapore.
I also really loved witnessing younger children being taught by their teachers inside the Museum.
I loved seeing the academic researchers inside the building and seeing them further study the pieces for their research.
(I hope they all finish their schooling and contribute their expertise in the society.)
I loved all the collections inside it and appreciated all the care that was put into it and making sure everything is well preserved and cared for.
Even though some of the collections were not open for seeing due to renovations taking place overall it was a great experience and I felt really lucky and blessed to witness all of it.

As a visitor to the Chinese Heritage Centre, I was impressed by the institution's dedication to preserving and promoting Chinese culture and history. The exhibits were informative and engaging, providing a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse heritage of the Chinese community in Singapore. The staff were knowledgeable and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend the Chinese Heritage Centre to anyone interested in learning more about Singapore's Chinese heritage.
Great interior designs. Really filled with Chinese atmosphere.
The library is open for students only.
Other people can go in but can’t stay long.

The vibes here really something. Feel like in future world. I enjoy drawing and playing around.
The place is very easy to find and near to the mrt station. 1 hour is enough to see it completely. You will find here interesting. Many good spots to take pictures. And there are some places near here with a good view so you must visit all of them too.
Very informative and interesting museum. My wife and I expected to be there for less than an hour having looked at the floor plan, which looked small. We were surprised we stayed for over 2 hours. Most of the taxidermy were on the lower side, sometimes bordering humorous. Descriptions and displays were great and easy to understand. If you're into biodiversity, then I'd definitely recommend visiting this place. I had the opportunity to visit during the parasite exhibition and was pretty grossed in a good way. Kudos!
NTU Aluminium Home Coming Day on 2022 Oct 15.
Very well renovated venue, though not really sure what the building is meant for. Never went in to see before.
Was quiet when we came during the weekday evening time. Did not enter the centre but the exterior looks magnificent. The exterior lightings during night time looks great for taking pictures.
One of the best kept secrets Heritage sites in Singapore. This used to be the administrative building for Nanyang University when it was builder back in 1955. This magnificent building retains its majestic look over the years and serves as a bridge between Nanyang University and the current NTU. Lesser known fact was Queen Elizabeth visited this building as part of her state visit in 1972
Safe Entry is an artwork by Heman Chong. It is based on a QR code repeated and amplified over a very long wall.
Beautiful arrangements and architecture, awesome building. We can get good clear picture about Singapore history and culture. I was enjoyed and learn lot about thire history.. Each and everyone should visit this place in your life time. It's Quite silent, nice and calm place. Good maintenance. Keep it up. Good luck.
An interesting Art Museum showing rare masterpieces of Claude Monet and other Impressionists. I expected less from this museum, but was impressed to see loaned masterpieces from European galleries, like d'Orsay. At time of our visit (March 2018) there was a special exhibition, showing masterpieces from Monet, Renoir, Juan Luna and others. The building itself is a spectacular, Neoclassical in style, but too large for the pieces of art i offers. An hour is enough to take at look at the most prominent pictures.
If you are living in Singapore then you should definitely visit this National Museum one day because this shows you the history of Singapore by various exhibitions, historic objects and many audio clippings.
The Museum shows you the beginning of this land by portraits and clips too
If you are an art lover you should not miss this place in Level 1 (history) cause you will love it.
In Level 2 its a forest journey and you will enjoy if you're with your family or friends
Your kids will love the 3D experience in Level2.
A Basement Level is also opened now which is about Polaroid. If you are a science lover you will love it.
Altogether it was a good experience.

Visited the museum for the special exhibition (Manila Galleon) and there was an interactive activity for children (via the use of QR codes and a website) to keep them busy while adults can spend some time viewing and learning about the artifacts on display. There are small souvenirs for children who completes a certain number of the stations, which can nudge kids to be more proactive.
