Indian Heritage Centre

The Indian Heritage Centre is a museum in Little India that documents the experiences of South Asian communities across Southeast Asia. The exhibition spans multiple floors and displays objects from different periods to show how these communities settled, worked, and developed in the region.

The centre was established in 2015 as part of Singapore's effort to preserve the history of its diverse communities. It represents one of several heritage institutions created to tell the stories of groups who shaped the nation's development.

The galleries reveal how South Asian communities have maintained their traditions, festivals, and daily practices within this region over time. Walking through, you notice evidence of their religious observances and the ways they shaped neighborhood life around them.

The museum sits in Little India and is easy to find on the street with clear signage. Plan enough time to explore the different floors, as the pace of your visit may depend on your interest level and how busy the space feels on that day.

The collection includes personal items and keepsakes from individual families that reveal how people actually lived their daily lives. These private objects often tell more vivid stories about the past than larger, more formal artifacts.
