Visited the Asian Civilisations Museum to check out the Sacred Caves: Dunhuang, Buddhism, and the Silk Road exhibition. Quite an interesting visit! I enjoyed learning about the Dunhuang caves and how different ancient civilisations interacted along the Silk Road. It was fascinating to learn how art, beliefs and ideas travelled between cultures alongside trade. The cave recreations also helped bring the history to life and gave me a better appreciation of the connections between these civilisations. Do note that there is an admission fee for this special exhibition.

Very interesting exhibition about the Sacred Caves and Buddish, they also incorporated other religion just beware that some might not feel so comfortable with specific exhibitions. Went on a weekend and it was superrrrrr crowded, having to queue despite having a booking already just to collect the ticket was abit off for me. Additionally, some of the exhibition rooms are newly renovated and have a superr strong renovation/ paint smell which was not very pleasant. Tour groups also occupied and blocked off alot of walkway, ACM needs to do something better.... Overall, the exhibition was very interesting and worth a visit if u really have nothing to do :)

An impressive exterior and interior. The displays are well laid out, with individual information as well as plenty of details on their broader context. A tremendous learning experience on the cultures and religions of South-east Asia and how East and West connected.

Excellent curating and interesting collections. The Tang Shipwreck display is worth a visit on it's own. Right now, Crosscurrents: Masterpieces of Mughal, Safavid and Ottoman Art from the Musée du Louvre is running until January 24, 2027. Faith and Belief Galleries (Level 2): Houses a vast collection of religious statues, including prominent Buddhist and Hindu divine images.
