Chinese Heritage Centre, Museum and cultural center in Southwest Singapore
The Chinese Heritage Centre occupies three restored shophouses within Nanyang Technological University campus, featuring fifteen exhibition galleries across three levels.
The building, completed in 1955 with a donation from Lim Lean Teng, served as Nanyang University's administration building before becoming a heritage center in 1995.
The center documents Chinese immigration through photographs, artifacts, and multimedia presentations that detail the journey of Chinese communities in Singapore since the 19th century.
Visitors can explore the Wang Gungwu Library containing 56,000 items, including 2,000 Early Textbooks, while guided tours provide detailed insights into Chinese heritage.
The building received National Monument status in 1998, representing the first Chinese-medium university structure established outside mainland China.
