Kwong Wai Siew Peck San Theng Heritage Gallery is a museum set up by Peck San Theng, a cultural organisation and columbarium based in Bishan with beginnings since 1870. 

Supported by National Heritage Board, Singapore, the museum was conceptualised in 2016 and completed in 2018. 

Did you know that more than two-thirds of the current Bishan town was once occupied by a cemetery and a village? Since the 19th century, Bishan was a Chinese burial ground called Peck San Theng. The Cantonese community was in charge of Peck San Theng, with more than 50,000 graves spread across the region. Kampong San Theng was the main Chinese village then.

The new $700,000 heritage gallery tells the story of Kampong San Teng. 

The 560 sqm gallery held its official opening on 3rd June. 

Admission to the gallery is free. It is open from 9.30am to 4pm every day except on public holidays.
