The Asian Civilisations Museum is the only museum in the region devoted to exploring the rich artistic heritage of Asia, especially the ancestral cultures of Singaporeans. Opened in 1997 and in its present building by the Singapore River since 2003, the museum traces its roots to the Raffles Museum, founded in the middle of 19th century. ACM focuses on the many historical and artistic connections between the cultures of Asia, and between Asia and the world.
Singapore’s history as a port city that brought people together from all over the world is used as a means of examining the history of Asia. Objects on display tell stories of the trade and the exchange of ideas that were the result of international commerce, as well as the flow of religions and faith through Asia.
Asian Civilisation Museum manages the Peranakan Museum. The Peranakan Museum (TPM) explores the art and culture of Peranakan communities in Southeast Asia and possesses one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of Peranakan objects. Galleries on three floors illustrate the cultural traditions and distinctive visual arts of Peranakans.
The Manager/Senior Manager (Development) is responsible for translating the museums’ institutional goals into persuasive donor-facing content and seamless engagement experiences. This role sits at the intersection of fundraising, communications, and institutional mandate, translating curatorial vision and organisational priorities into persuasive cases for support, while strengthening donor engagement across the full lifecycle from prospecting to stewardship. The ideal candidate combines writing and analytical capabilities with project ownership and stakeholder engagement and is comfortable operating in a high-performance environment.
