What does it mean to be Malay in Singapore?

Trace the rich evolution of Singapore's Malay community through centuries of movement, trade, and cultural transformation across the Malay Archipelago. Spanning five thematic galleries, this permanent exhibition explores the multifaceted identity shaped by diverse influences from the Malay Peninsula to Riau, Sumatra, Java, Bawean, and Sulawesi. Along with commissioned works by contemporary Singapore Malay artists, we ask: what will we carry forward, reimagine, or weave anew?
