Eurasian Heritage Gallery

Such an amazing place to discover Eurasian roots and the olden days Singapore. It’s like a mini museum but it has quite a myriad of artefacts. It is well worth a visit!

I would have given 4.5 stars for the exhibition but we had the strangest experience upon entering which in fact deserves one star. The female at the counter assumed I was a foreigner (foreigners pay a small sum to enter). I told her I was PR and my daughter a citizen. Instead of politely asking for my ID she very roughly demanded “show me” twice. I wanted a nice experience for my 8yo daughter so I complied without fuss. She then turned to my young girl and said she must pay. I was confused. I repeated that my daughter was a local Singaporean but she refused to believe me. It’s only when my Singaporean husband entered that she backed down. Nice introduction to the Eurasian community! Unfortunately they no longer have an activity book/pack for children so I hope if they read this they’ll reintroduce one as the children would gain far more from the actual exhibition. As for the exhibit itself, it’s quite good though a little crammed with information but I understand space is a constraint. Would recommend if you’re combining a trip with the gorgeous downstairs Eurasian restaurant “Quentins” which my family and I love. Otherwise, given the odd reception by that woman, I’d give the exhibit a miss.

Just joined the Eurasian Association and was there for a welcoming ceremony. Our race is often forgotten being a minority race in Singapore. Come on down to EA and know more about us. The gallery is on the 4th floor

First time here. A quiet place with comprehensive information you need to know about Eurasian community. Lot of interesting fun facts. There is a restaurant on the ground floor serving Eurasian food but I didn’t have time to try it. Maybe next time.

Absolutely loved the gallery! Quite small and located on the floors above, there is a lot of history packed into such a small place. I was fascinated by all the memorabilia and stories about the western influence on Singapore. I was even amazed to find my own surname which is quite localised to where I am from displayed amongst the collection with a coat of arms and the reference used which influenced the naming of a street. I spent about 30 mins although could have easily spent an hour going through all of the gallery.

Went there on Sunday and they close at 5pm. Left with 15mins for the museum but the service staff allow us to visit anyway, so nice of them. The museum is very informative, we browse through quickly. Learnt a lot about Eurasian culture in Singapore and especially like the street name and pictures section. Need at least half hour time to go through all the exhibit. Will go back again. Surprisingly it is free for Singaporean and $5 for foreigner. Will go back again to the museum and also try out the Eurasian food at the Quentin restaurant.

I visited the Eurasian Heritage Gallery during the My Community Festival and it was a very fruitful experience. The guides Alison and Petrina were very passionate and shared many stories and knowledge on Eurasian culture with the participants. The tour also included a delicious 4-course lunch from the Quentin’s on a well decorated table. There was even a “gift exchange” with presents already prepared by the staff. The entire itinerary was well thought out and was full of Christmas vibe.

The exhibition hall is only at 4th floor. Not,so many collection is being displayed. However, it tells you the story about the Eurasian community in Singapore. The entrance fee is SGD 5 for foreigner visitor
