Website | EmailThis 1910 building evokes the serenity of its era in its arched verandas, balanced symmetry and dignified proportions fashionable in the 19th century England. A Sri Lankan figurine of Buddha, Islamic art and calligraphy, South-east Asian tribal wood carvings and other ethnographic collections trace Singapore's diverse cultural and religious origins to all over Asia. The museum, however, leans heavily towards Chinese cultural heritage, with two-thirds of the galleries focusing on artifacts from China—jade, ceramics, bronzes and folk art, dating from the Neolithic Age to the 20th Century.
