    Even if you can't bring home your favourite museum exhibit, you can still buy its likeness in the form of antique-inspired watches, bags and other lifestyle accessories at the Asian Civilisations Museum. Its Museum Label merchandise is inspired by three exhibitions that include the collections of prominent art collector Dr Tan Tsze Chor and fashion stalwart Guo Pei. Check out watches inspired by the paintings of Wu Changshuo (Apricot Blossoms) or blue-and-white ceramics depicting the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove - a traditional motif representing the lifestyle of the Chinese elite. Then there's also a scarf that was designed for Guo Pei's exhibition, with elements of the imperial dragon robe from the Kangxi period and the iconic gold gown from her own Samsara collection.

    For the month of December, quote "Cheers" to enjoy a 10 per cent discount from the museum shop.
