Indian Heritage Centre

The Indian Heritage Centre is a cultural museum located at 5 Campbell Lane in Little India, within the Rochor planning area of Singapore. Opened in 2015 and managed by the National Heritage Board, it documents the history and heritage of Singapore's Indian community. Housed in a distinctive four-storey building inspired by traditional Indian architecture, it features five permanent galleries, interactive exhibits, artefacts and community programmes highlighting early migrations, cultural traditions and contributions of Indians to Singapore.

Visitors can expect a four-storey museum in the heart of Little India with five permanent galleries tracing the history of Singapore's Indian community from early interactions to contemporary contributions. The building features a translucent facade inspired by the Indian stepwell (baoli) and houses artefacts, archival photographs, interactive displays and multimedia installations. Visitors can explore thematic galleries, temporary exhibitions, and participate in guided tours, cultural workshops and festivals within an air-conditioned, modern museum setting.

Opened on 7 May 2015 and officially launched on 8 May 2015, the Indian Heritage Centre is Singapore's first centre dedicated to Indian heritage. Developed by the National Heritage Board with support from the Indian community, it traces the history of Indians in Singapore and Southeast Asia from early trade contacts and 19th-century migration under British colonial rule to nation-building contributions.

The centre showcases the cultural heritage, traditions, festivals and contributions of Singapore's Indian community, including Tamil, Sikh, Malayalee and other sub-groups. It serves as a community and educational hub for understanding Indian culture, language, religion and arts within Singapore's multicultural society.
