Malay Heritage Centre

Introduction:

Officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in June 2005, the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) provides wonderful cultural exposure and learning opportunities for visitors of all ages and interests. Situated amidst the Istana Kampong Gelam, Gedung Kuning and the surrounding Kampong Gelam precinct, the Centre acts as a vital heritage institution for the Malay community in Singapore. Through its exhibits, programmers and activities, the Centre hopes to honour the past while providing a means for present-day expression. The Malay Heritage Centre is presently under the management of the National Heritage Board in partnership with the Malay Heritage Foundation.

From January 2017, there will no longer be fixed dates for Open House Days at NHB museums and heritage institutions*. Instead, our museums and heritage institutions will offer free admission for all visitors on selected days, held in conjunction with exhibitions, programmes or festive celebrations. The respective museums and institutions will release information of these free admission days whenever available. On other days, Singaporeans and PRs continue to enjoy free admission to all NHB museums and heritage institutions.
