Armenian Silver
A Harmonized Display of All Asian Lifestyles – the Asian Civilizations Museum
The Asian Civilizations Museum is the most significant museum in Singapore, exhibiting a wide range of cultures, traditions and lifestyles of the Asian community that’s very much a part of the country’s history. The museum is managed by the National Heritage Board.
People who came to settle in Singapore over the last 200 years have brought various cultures along with them. Thus their customs are a mixture of uniqueness and antiquity. This is one of the key features that ACM has concentrated upon. You will therefore find that the collection exhibited in ACM has a variety of antiques depicting the traditions and backgrounds of natives coming from China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and West Asia.
The Asian Civilizations Museum’s focus is on the legacy of the Asian ethnicity. The first building, Peranakan Museum, situated at Armenian Street, has been painstakingly and carefully restored and it dates back to 1910. This museum is abode to the highly praised eternal exposition of the Peranakan Legacy, which displays the affluent heritage of the Peranankans from the Straits Settlements and the Indonesian Archipelago. The features include the famous batik, embroidery and beadwork collections. You also get a peek at the lovely silver and porcelain pieces.
Another wing of the ACM museum was inaugurated in February 2003 after massive restoration, and it is located at Empress Place. It covers three levels and showcases thematic colonnades that exhibit cultural heritage of India, China, Southeast Asia and the Islamic World. Modern exhibits plus the competitive and simple to understand technologies with educational essentials are cautiously incorporated into the colonnades. A center that is specially committed to the young visitors is also a part of this museum. The grand exhibitions can be displayed in the unique exhibition gallery. Value is added to these displays by the tassel events that depict the traditions and the customs.
While you are in Singapore on vacation or business, don’t forget to take a step into the Asian Civilizations Museum. If you are staying at a hotel, Singapore attractions and activity details can often be obtained from the front desk.
