Fuk Tak Chi Museum

This museum was central to the Chinese immigrants life – both as a shrine and as a welfare centre. It was built in the formal style of China’s old magistrates’courts. It is said that there are 200 artefacts contributed by former residents of Chinatown including Paranakan jewellery, an opium smoker’s lamp, a charcoal iron and others. The museum occupies the premises of the first-known Chinese temple in Singapore, “Fuk Tak Chi Temple”, which was set up by Hakka and Cantonese immigrants to give thanks to the deity, Da Bo Gong (Local God of the Soil) for their safe journey here.

The location is at Telok Ayer Street and is opened daily from 10 am to 9.00 pm. Admission is Free.
