The Asian Civilisation Museum is a mere 5 minute walk away from Raffles Place MRT. It seeks to promote a better appreciation of the rich cultures that make up Singapore's multi-ethnic society, presenting a broad yet integrated perspective of pan-Asian cultures and civilisations. The Museum's collection therefore centres on the material cultures of the different groups originating from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and West Asia.

After extension renovation, he second wing of the Museum was opened at Empress Place in February 2003. With three levels, a series of thematic galleries give insights into the cultural heritage of India, China, Southeast Asia and the Islamic World. High-teched display and interactive technologies are integrated into the galleries, along with a centre specially dedicated to younger visitors. A special exhibition gallery is also provided to house blockbuster exhibitions. These exhibits are enhanced by exciting fringe events to bring ancient traditions, practices and art forms to life. Due to it's beautiful structure, many photoshoots have also been held there.

I think this is a good place to learn about Singapore's history as it provides us an insight of what our forefathers went through. They managed to bring history to life and changed my opinion about history being boring and dry. They recreated their living conditions and displayed artifacts that were really interesting. It is amazing to see that our cultures have a very strong influence on our lives until today. I like the fact that there are many benches for people to rest, as well as the detailed information at each exhibit. I think that it is a great effort for ACM to ensure that it is a whellchair friendly place. Two thumbs up! (:
