| Description: | The Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore presents a range of exhibitions that reflect the complex pan-Asian heritage of the island, displaying artefacts from East, South, Southeast and West Asia. Its companion website presents a textual introduction to the aims of the museum, provides visitor information, and lists past, future and current exhibitions. Users will find this exhibition section most informative, which links to extended descriptions of past and current events in the museum's galleries. In the 'Past Exhibitions' section, details are available via hyperlinks for most exhibits dating back to 1993. The galleries display ceramics; photography; painting; textiles and jewellery. Exhibitions described on the website include: Ming dynasty porcelain; jewellery from Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia; Chinese bronzes; Indian and Indonesian textiles; and exhibitions on Peranakan culture. The main page also acts as a gateway to online resources for other cultural organisations in Singapore, namely; the Singapore Art Museum; the National Archives of Singapore; the Singapore History Museum; and the Heritage Conservation Centre. The Asian Civilisations Museum website will be of interest to any researcher or student with interests in Asian art (particularly traditional arts) and the diverse cultures that are represented in Singapore society. |
