Asian Civilizations Museum


The gallery on the second floor gave an insightful view on the history of the Singapore River for our group which consisted of Jasmine, Ngiap, Jacelyn and I. The Singapore River is portrayed through photographs of the landscape and people, artefacts of trading goods as well as audio and video clips. It gives the history of the Singapore River dating back to the 1300s.



Make your way to Raffles’ Landing Site and keep an eye open for:

From Chettiars to Financiers- a sculpture depicting the history of loans or money lending in Singapore

The Great Emporium- a sculpture depicting how trading was done in the old days of Singapore history.
