The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is Singapore’s national museum of Asian antiquities and decorative art. As the only museum in Asia with a pan-Asian scope, ACM is devoted to exploring the rich artistic heritage of Asia through our outstanding collection of masterpieces, and through ground-breaking special exhibitions. Special exhibitions and programs are held to bring magnificent objects from around the world closer to the Singapore audience. Here’s a roundup of happenings at ACM this July and August.
