Singapore Little India Indian Heritage Centre Permanent Galleries Admission

Discover the history of the Indian community
at the Indian Heritage Centre in Little India

The Indian Heritage Centre is a four-storey building at 5 Campbell Lane in Little India. It blends traditional Indian and modern architectural elements, and its facade is inspired by the Indian stepwell (baoli).

By day, the translucent glass facade shines like a glowing jewel, and at night the colourful facade mural lights up, turning it into a glowing lantern of the Indian community. Inside are five permanent galleries, a museum shop and programming and activity spaces.

Explore permanent galleries
across five themes

The permanent galleries on levels 3 and 4 are arranged chronologically across five themes, spanning the 1st century CE to the 21st century. Through ancient sculptures, ceremonial artefacts and many stories of early migrants, follow the history of the Indian and South Asian communities in Southeast Asia.

Free guided tours, workshops
and festival programmes

Free guided tours are offered from Tuesday to Sunday. The centre also holds workshops such as miniature painting, jewellery making and saree tying, and free live cooking demonstrations and cultural performances during festivals such as Deepavali and Pongal.

※ The centre is closed every Monday, including public holidays falling on a Monday, unless otherwise stated.
※ Please remove your shoes and place them on the racks before entering the galleries.
