The magnificent Empress Place Building houses the Asian Civilisations Museum since 2003.
The building, designed by the British architect John Frederick Adolphus McNair, was built in 1865, using the forced labor of Indian workers, and originally hosted the offices of the colonial government. You’ll notice the elegant blend of classical architecture with tropical features, such as the wooden shutters and the large portico.
