Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre

About SCCC.

Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) is Singapore’s leading institution for local Chinese culture. The Centre was opened by then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 2017 and houses SINGAPO人 (singapo-ren), a permanent exhibition that showcases the distinctiveness of Singapore Chinese culture in our multicultural society. SCCC contributes to a vibrant arts and culture scene through thought leadership, research, arts residencies, partnerships, and support for local arts and cultural groups. It also organises exhibitions, performances, festivals, workshops, conferences, talks and other cultural activities throughout the year. Through its outreach efforts, SCCC hopes to bring Singapore Chinese culture to life and make it accessible to all.
