Peranakan Museum

The whole place isn’t very big but there are actually a lot to see, especially if you interested to know about the Peranakan people and their culture. There’s also the batiks that are showcased from different eras and how the colours evolved over time. A cooling place to spend some time explori... see more

I really enjoyed my visit to the Peranakan Museum! The galleries are beautifully curated, with vibrant displays of Peranakan fashion, jewellery and dyed fabrics. I especially loved the section on weddings and traditional costumes, it felt like stepping into a different era. The museum is not very large, which makes it easy to explore without feelin... see more

Totally worth coming for a stroll and learn about the rich Peranakan culture. I think it basically means south Asian mixture of Chinese, Indian and Malay culture. I find interesting the list of sponsors. Not packed if you go early afternoon.

Really cool and informative museum with huge, multi-floor permanent and temporary exhibitions display. What charms there most, are its beautifully crafted architectural interiors along with great variety of original historical exhibits, artifacts, documents and photographs. Well done indeed!

There were free sticker booklets and colouring activities for kids as well. Visitors were given free bookmarks with batik designs.

The exhibits are well preserved... see more
