ACM Conversations ACM and the Peranakan Museum: Post-pandemic Strategies and the Way Forward Thursday, 7 September 2023, 7-8pmNgee Ann Auditorium, Asian Civilisations MuseumMuseums around the world have shown resilience and adapted to new ways of being in the post-pandemic world. The Asian Civilisations Museum too has experimented with unique approaches to involve people and communities in exhibition-making, both during and after the pandemic. Earlier this year, the Peranakan Museum’s re-opening concluded almost a decade of major revamps and gallery refreshes for both museums, with the new Peranakan Museum adopting an approach that spotlights people and micro-histories. Join museum Director Kennie Ting as he speaks about how the museums have shifted and adapted over the last few years, as well their direction and plans for the future.
