Opened in 2015, the Indian Heritage Centre is a National Heritage Board museum on Campbell Lane in Little India. Its facade, inspired by the Indian stepwell (baoli), houses five permanent galleries spanning over a century of Indian migration and settlement in Singapore and the region, from early maritime trade links through to nation-building. Collections include textiles, religious icons, and artefacts rescued from demolished temples.
