THE EURASIAN EXPERIENCE TOUR @ EURASIAN HERITAGE CENTRE
The Eurasian Association Singapore is always happy to share our heritage and culture with the
community.
The Eurasian Experience Tour @ Eurasian Heritage Centre is a collaboration between The Eurasian
Association Singapore and Quentin’s Eurasian Restaurant. The learning journey tours are catered for
groups of all ages, from schools and organisations.
Visitors will immerse in the Eurasian culture, learning about the origins, history, lifestyle and
contributions of the Eurasian community, through the guided tour of the three galleries, viewing of and
participation in a traditional Eurasian folk dance, sampling of a Eurasian delicacy, cooking
demonstrations and lunch. We offer a variety of tour packages.
The Eurasian Community House located at 139 Ceylon Road, Singapore 429744, is home to the
Eurasian Heritage Centre which comprises three galleries:
The Eurasian Showcase
