How to Get to Asian Civilisations Museum from Raffles Place MRT | Exit H and Empress Place

—

Singapore River view toward Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall in the Civic District.

For Asian Civilisations Museum, take Raffles Place MRT Exit H and walk towards Empress Place. The museum is at 1 Empress Place, Singapore 179555, in the historic building beside the Singapore River. ACM estimates about five minutes from the station.

Use the museum’s full name and address if you are meeting someone. Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall and the Arts House are nearby, and ‘Empress Place’ by itself can mean several different stops.

  • MRT: Raffles Place EW14/NS26, Exit H.
  • Address: 1 Empress Place, Singapore 179555.
  • Riverside landmark: Cavenagh Bridge near The Fullerton Hotel.
  • Check the museum page for hours and current exhibition admission.

Guide contents

Walk to the museum via the river

After leaving Exit H, head towards the river near The Fullerton Hotel. Use the Cavenagh Bridge pedestrian crossing towards Empress Place and follow the signs or your map to the museum entrance.

If the riverside approach is temporarily diverted, follow the marked route. If you need a step-free approach from the MRT, check station lift directions and the museum’s current access advice before choosing the route.

Tell the museum apart from nearby venues

The museum is housed in the former Empress Place Building by the river. Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall is nearby. Share the exact address when people are coming from different directions.

For a meetup, choose the museum entrance. If you are also going to a performance or the Arts House, use those venue names as separate map stops.

Plan the museum visit before setting out

Check ACM’s visitor page for the galleries or exhibition you want to see and the current admission terms. If you are joining a guided tour, consult the separate tour page and leave time to find the meeting point.

For a short outing, choose one area to see before taking a riverside walk. This makes it easier to plan when some members of your group only have time for the walk.
