The Eurasian Heritage Gallery began as one small room in 2003 and grew to three galleries. The Eurasian Association revamped it, and President Halimah Yacob relaunched it on 21 September 2019 to mark the association’s centenary. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm; Singaporeans and PRs enter free.
