Gan Heritage Centre seek to honour and preserve the rich heritage of the Gan Clan; to celebrate the historic and cultural significance of the Gan ancestry; to connect the younger generation to their genealogical roots; and last but not least, to uphold the clanship spirit and promote its relevance in a modern, changing world.
A comprehensive clan archive, the Centre presents an illustration and documentation of the story of the Gan Clan from the etymological origins of the Gan surname to its present status. Above all, Gan Heritage Centre is a living museum that encourages interaction with its visitors, particularly the younger audience in quest of their ancestral roots and cultural identity.
