The Chinatown Heritage Centre is the only place in Singapore that has recreated the original interiors of its shophouse tenants in the 1950s, offering visitors an honest, revealing glimpse into the lives of Chinatown's early residents.

Easy to miss amidst all the gift shops but definitely worth a visit! Interesting & informative displays on how Chinatown came to be what it is today. Best part is definitely the recreated shophouse!
Just opened 28 Jan 2016. A very well planned and detailed museum . Takes about 45mins with audio tour and allows you to experience the lives of the people who used to live in Singapore decades ago.
Really good audioguide. Little pieces of radio-theatre from the past. Make room for the 3rd floor and social media at the end.
The best experience in Chinatown. All tourists and citizens should understand the history of the Chinese in Singapore. This place explains it all.
For a smart gift - Really the best not-so-cheap souvenir center, subtly playing with Singaporean culture. I love buy my family gifts here, 100% authentic and you won't find it elsewhere.
Very well made museum . You can roughly spend 1.5h exploring the exciting history of Chinatown. Also very recommendable for locals ;)
Do take the audio guide, you won't have as good of an experience without it.
Very nice museum , must-see!
Go during night ..the view very nice ..not far from mrt chinatown
A must - a must and the must!
Still closed, only can see this statue in front of center.
Good day to see stuff n tea time with friends
This museum is closed for renovation until Mid-2015.
Small but chic souvenir shop. Especially like their retro tea canister set
Excellent to learn some history but $10 per person
Visit nearby Gift Master Shop, Best quality economic souvenirs
Nice attraction to just get the feel of the surrounding area.
I won’t recommend it
Food and stuff
A good collection of artefacts but possibly a little overpriced for what it is.
Small for a museum .
Buy ducktours, hippobus, flyer and universal studios tickets here!
a MUST see
Closed for renovation . No info til when
Don't forget to visit the small souvenir stores around the Heritage Centre. The specialty shops along Kampong Glam have some of the best bargains.
Ffcfgfggggf
Many cheap dresses ;)
ฝั่งซ้าย จำลองสภาพความเป็นอยู่จริง ของคนในย่านสมัยก่อน แออัดได้ใจมาก สะท้อนความเป็นอยู่ของคนสิงคโปร์ได้ดี แต่วันที่ไป แอร์บางส่วนไม่เปิดและโปรเจคเตอร์ไม่ทำงาน คนดูแลบอกกำลังปรับปรุงอยู่
