It is one of the region's first museums to focus on pan-Asian civilizations and civilizations. The museum specializes in the material history of China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia, from which Singapore's many ethnic groups descend.

If you're interested in Asian antiquities and ornamental art, the Asian Civilisations Museum has enough of both. Southeast Asian culture is one of the centerpieces, with a whole area dedicated to the region's rich nautical heritage. The "Tang Shipwreck" is one of the most visible artifacts in the museum's "Trade" area. Over a thousand items of well-preserved silver, gold, and pottery depict the tale of the Indian Ocean trade. So, if this is something that interests you, Toplist strongly suggests that you visit this museum!
