🇸🇬 | Asian Civilisations Museum Singapore
Visited the [Asian Civilisation Museum]. Although I have passed by here countless times before, it is the first time to come inside. As one of the four major museums in Singapore, ACM mainly studies the history of material civilisation in China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and West Asia.
The museum has three large exhibition zones. The collections in the museum also include Chinese Taoist and Buddhist statues, various exquisite porcelain, calligraphy works and other decorative arts.

wonderful food at Empress
Empress is a very popular place for weddings. In fact i was just there for food tasting. Some of their banquet menu items are available in their day to day menu too.
I especially like their bird's nest soup and mochi ball with black sesame ice cream. Their food is not too salty/sweet so our parents love them.
Staff was very attentive and our water was never empty.
Some might find the indoor lights a bit dim for dinner but i like it as i dont like spot lights. You can choose to sit outdoors to admire the fairy lights! No aircon but there are quite a few fans so shouldnt be too hot!
Address - 1 Empress Place, Asian Civilisations Museum
Highlights - fairy lights! Wonderful food and service

The Asian Civilizations Museum is dedicated to housing and displaying works that are part of the category of Asian antiquities and decorative art! There are quite a number of free-to-view art works, namely the permanent exhibitions. There are also special rotating exhibitions that require an additional charge.
The museum is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Raffles Place MRT. Don’t forget to take some photos with the giant metal balls art installation on its front lawn too!

Having ice cream with bread
#localhistory
Ice cream uncle
Address: 1 Empress Pl, Singapore 179555
Nearest MRT: Raffles Place MRT Exit H
Do you know about the ice cream uncles all around Singapore? They sell ice cream on their motorbike. A moving refrigerator full of ice cream travelling around Singapore, bringing ice cream to you. Do not worry about unlicensed hawkers because all the ice cream uncles have proper licensing, a right to sell ice cream with the permission from authority.
You can choose between the numerous ice cream flavours on offer and choose to eat it with a waffle biscuit or soft white bread, sometimes the bread comes in rainbow colours too. It is such a happy sight to see them nowadays.
For me, I always see them outside The Fullerton Hotel, near Asian civilisations museum and I feel I am very lucky to have an ice cream with bread and enjoy the views at The Fullerton Hotel.
Now that the tourists are back, I always see a long queue at the ice cream uncle’s store. I am pretty sure the tourists are able to enjoy a different side of Singapore, our traditions and street food.

Asian Civilisations Museum
#singaporetrip Having visited most of the major museums in Singapore, I can confidently say that this one is definitely worth checking out. However, I did find it challenging to navigate between exhibitions. There were no clear instructions on how to move from one to the next, so I ended up walking to the end and then retracing my steps. This meant I could have missed some smaller exhibition areas if I wasn't paying close attention. I had to ask the guards for directions multiple times. Additionally, all the elevators were out of service, so I had to take the stairs. Despite these difficulties, I found this smaller museum to be a nice place to spend a solid two hours exploring everything it has to offer. There is a cafe downstairs and a souvenir shop where I noticed they offer interesting workshops like porcelain decoration on plates and mugs, although I didn't have time to try them. If you've already visited all the major museums in the area, I recommend paying a visit here to enjoy a leisurely walk and immerse yourself in their impressive collections. Don't have to buy ticket in advance, just purchase upon arrival at the kiosk or counter.

#singaporetrip 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.

A representation of modern day Singapore
Asian Civilization Museum is a replica of modern day of Singapore where diversity in ethnicity, religion, culture, and art converges. Here you will learn about different religions, arts, and cultures that comprises Singapore and southeast Asian culture. This is a great place to learn about all these.
One special permanent exhibit in this museum has a comprehensive collection of artifacts from a shipwreck from Tang Dynasty dated 800 A.D.
If you are into archaeology, this is a must - see.

My 2024 travel wish is to visit Tianjin. I would like to try out their local food there .I would also like to visit their museum and attractions over there too. I would like to also shop for their popular local produce there to buy them back for my friends.
If you are interested in the Asia culture and history, then you should visit the Asian centre museum. You would get to find out more about their history and culture that each of them have. You will definitely get to gain more in-depth knowledge of the various ethnicities around the world.

🇸🇬Asian Civilisations Museum:Must Visit !
#wheretogo
The museum's collection was remarkably impressive. It showcased a great ceramic collection from maritime shipwrecks dating back to the 830s, which were discovered in a beautiful and perfectly preserved state. I was stunned by how delicate the work are given that resources were limited back then! It was fascinating to learn about how Chinese ceramics influenced the rest of the world. I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed such a remarkable pottery collection. Three hours are simply not enough to go through everything! Definitely would be back again! It’s free for Singaporean and Permanent residents so take a historical tour today ! #timetotravel #rediscoversg #rediscoversingapore #singapore

Just right outside of the Asian Civilisations Museum, there are these huge, round, steel looking spheres laying on the lawn. These sculptures by Baet Yeok Kuan are actually interactive installations that act as an audio time capsule, capturing the sounds of Singapore, from hawker centres to public transport! Take a picture of yourself on these reflective spheres and listen to the sounds! #timetotravel #rediscoversg #rediscoversingapore #singapore

Civic district city hall
Address - Civic District, City Hall
How to get here: 10-minute walk from City Hall MRT, Raffles Place MRT or Esplanade MRT
Singapore’s civic district is where many national and colonial monument buildings stand! Many decades ago in Singapore’s early days, this area used to be beside the ports where trade and commerce happened.
Today, many of these buildings have been refurbished and repurposed to become museums and patrons of the arts while having their facades conserved. Come visit these significant landmarks to reminisce our local history and admire the beautiful architecture at the same time!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Museum park
Address - Asian Civilisations Museum, 1 Empress Place, Singapore 179555
Surrounding the grounds of the Asian Civilisations Museum is a park with lush greenery and gorgeous flowers in bloom! There are trees of all different sizes, with one being really quite humongous and tall.
The flat green field was the picture-perfect place to lay out a mat and have a picnic at, just that when we went, it was too hot with the sun shining directly overhead. I recommend the spot underneath that huge tree as there’s plenty of shade and the occasional cool breeze!

The Asian Civilisations Museum is devoted to exploring the rich artistic heritage of Asia, especially the ancestral cultures of Singaporeans. Founded in 1993 and in its present building by the Singapore River since 2003, the museum traces its roots to the Raffles Museum, founded in the middle of the 19th century. #wintergetaway

Walking through the Cavenagh Bridge, it is the Asian Museum. It is also a place I highly recommend. I really stayed in it for a long time. From the bridge, it was the Asian Museum. It was originally thought to be the National Museum of Singapore. People with bad English always encounter this kind of anecdote abroad. In fact, it is very understandable, such a hot day, indoors is free to blow air conditioning, such a place really like it.
There are several such mirrored balls in front of the museum as decorations. It is very interesting to put the reflections around them in the ball. You can also take a selfie close to it. The first part of the
venue is the pottery porcelain, and some of it is salvaged by the shipwreck. The age of the clay pot can be known through the corrosion of rusty coins in the tank.
There are some preservations that are very good, without any defects, you can clearly see the painting on the surface. There is also a raised relief, and the dragon's expression is also very vivid.
Asian museums are also very large, three floors, mainly divided into several areas, maritime trade, religious beliefs, historical development, etc., and a Chinese pavilion, put a lot of Chinese famous calligraphy and painting, do not know whether it is authentic or Product
