The museum, located on the bank of the Singapore River, is the only museum in Asia devoted to exploring the rich artistic heritage of Asia. It focuses on the historical connections between cultures and civilisations in Asia, and between Asia and the world.
The statue of President Ho Chi Minh is placed along with the statues of many other Asian leaders and celebrities at the museum.
Aiming to show good affection for Vietnam and honour one of the great foreign figures who once visited Singapore, in May 2008, on the occasion of the 118th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh and the 35th founding anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Singapore, the National Heritage Board of Singapore inaugurated a memorial plaque for President Ho Chi Minh at the Asian Civilisations Museum.

Friends who cherish Vietnam in the National Heritage Board of Singapore, the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore, and the Ho Chi Minh Museum conceived the idea of placing a statue of President Ho Chi Minh next to the memorial plaque. In September 2011, the statue was inaugurated.
