Guided Tour Get the Inside Scoop!

Get whisked away to yesteryear on one of our free-of-charge guided tours. Our crew of dedicated docents are on hand to take you on a nuanced journey through time. With a guide at your side, you’ll get to learn more about the scholarly research powering our galleries and glean deeper insight into the artefacts in our midst.   

Begin your free guided IHC experience in the 1st century — when South and Southeast Asia made contact for the first time; thereafter, our docent will lead you down some of the intercontinental paths carved out by the Indian diaspora. Cap off your visit by uncovering the personal stories of our very own pioneers and legends.

Our guided tour takes about 60 minutes. It is designed to arm visitors with the bearings to explore our galleries on their own. We welcome a maximum of 20 visitors per group. Meet us at our lobby on Level 1 to embark on the tour.
