Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre is a major hub for showcasing and promoting Chinese culture in Singapore, designed to connect people with traditional and modern aspects of Chinese Singaporean identity.
Located at Shenton Way near Tanjong Pagar, the SCCC building itself is a striking mix of contemporary design with subtle cultural influences.
Its calendar is packed with art exhibitions, music performances, cultural carnivals, film screenings, and creative workshops—many of them free or family-friendly.
Don’t miss the “SINGAPO 人” gallery—it’s an engaging showcase of how local Chinese traditions have evolved over time, including food culture, popular sayings, pop music, and more.
Festivals like Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Qing Ming are often celebrated with special events at SCCC—think lion dances, lantern making, calligraphy demonstrations, here and festive markets.
The centre works closely with local artists, youth groups, and cultural organisations to engage the wider community.
The rooftop garden is a hidden gem with city views—perfect for taking a break after exploring the galleries.
Getting there is easy via Tanjong Pagar MRT (Exit F), with plenty of buses serving the area as well.
If you’re interested in art, history or just exploring what it means to be Chinese in Singapore today, SCCC is well worth a visit.
