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.

TPM is managed by ACM and explores the art and culture of Peranakan communities in Southeast Asia. It possesses one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of Peranakan objects. Galleries on three floors illustrate the culture, life and art of Peranakans.
