Eurasian Heritage Gallery

First time here. A quiet place with comprehensive information you need to know about Eurasian community. Lot of interesting fun facts. There is a restaurant on the ground floor serving Eurasian food but I didn’t have time to try it. Maybe next time.

Absolutely loved the gallery! Quite small and located on the floors above, there is a lot of history packed into such a small place. I was fascinated by all the memorabilia and stories about the western influence on Singapore. I was even amazed to find my own surname which is quite localised to where I am from displayed amongst the collection with a coat of arms and the reference used which influenced the naming of a street. I spent about 30 mins although could have easily spent an hour going through all of the gallery.

I visited the Eurasian Heritage Gallery during the My Community Festival and it was a very fruitful experience. The guides Alison and Petrina were very passionate and shared many stories and knowledge on Eurasian culture with the participants. The tour also included a delicious 4-course lunch from the Quentin’s on a well decorated table. There was even a “gift exchange” with presents already prepared by the staff. The entire itinerary was well thought out and was full of Christmas vibe.
