9. Manila Galleon From Asia to the Americas

The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) presents “Manila Galleon: From Asia to the Americas,” marking Singapore’s inaugural large-scale exhibition that explores historical trade connections across the Pacific, linking Asia to the Americas and Europe.

This exclusive showcase delves into the movement of people, commodities, and concepts through the Philippines and Mexico, cultivating a unique cultural and artistic legacy shared among seemingly distant regions. Encounter 140 remarkable objects spanning the 16th to the 20th century, including rare and significant pieces from esteemed collaborators, many making their debut in Singapore. These artefacts weave stories of artists, traders, and consumers of that era, shedding light on the often unacknowledged ties and influences behind commodities that are now commonplace. Additionally, the exhibition emphasizes Singapore’s diverse society and the impact of port cities on global dynamics.
