Chinatown Heritage Centre
Journey into the everyday lives of early Chinese immigrants at the Chinatown Heritage Centre, nestled within three meticulously restored shophouses on Pagoda Street. The museum offers immersive, transporter-style gallery zones that reveal how generations before lived—from cramped cubicle dwellings and buzzing tailor shops, to the trials of settlement and ethnic solidarity. Through audiovisual storytelling and sensory elements—including sounds and scents—it brings history to life with authenticity and empathy. The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed. It is not possible to skip the security lines. There could be a line at the entrance and is mandatory for all visitors.
