About

Your experience at Chinatown Heritage Centre

Embark on a journey through Singapore's vibrant heritage at the Chinatown Heritage Centre. Begin your visit at the recreated tailor’s shop, then wander through three floors of restored living spaces representing the 1950s shophouse environment once typical of Pagoda Street. These interiors reflect the domestic lives, struggles, and hopes of the migrants who called this area home.

Immersive museum discovery

Follow personal stories unraveling across each room through period décor and meaningful memorabilia. Interactive audio stations allow you to hear moving recollections and interviews recorded with Chinatown residents and descendants, bringing history to life.

Dive into themed exhibition zones

The exhibition splits into three distinct zones. 'Shophouse Living' lets you explore home life inside these multi-family dwellings, while 'Arrival & Settling In' shares the emotional journey of arriving migrants adapting to a new culture and community. ‘Migrants’ End & Heritage Brands’ illustrates how these early settlers created lasting cultural and commercial legacies on Singapore’s streets.

Multilingual and interactive features

Throughout, you’ll find stories narrated in both English and Mandarin. Multisensory exhibits, soundscapes, imagery, and interactive displays ensure a rich experience for all ages and backgrounds. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of the tenacity, diversity, and traditions that shaped one of Singapore’s most iconic districts.
