Step back to get good insight into the culture and how the Baba and Nyonya lived 100 years ago. Great photo opportunities in this mansion, with jewellery museum , temple and more.

Ashley Tan

Take some time to chat with the friendly and knowledgeable staff . You might learn something outside the guided tour . You explore the upper floor sans shoes , so don't wear anything elaborate.

Carol Soong

Good insight to a Peranakan's way of life.. But brief & limited descriptions. It'll be recommended for the guided tour . Best to schedule yourself a 2 hrs slot for this museum to make your money worth.

This is the 5th Peranakan Museum I have visited. There is also in Singapore, Manila, Indonesia, Melaka too. I am a fan and peranakan itself of Indonesia Chinese Peranakan.

Ah Leong San

Go to the back of the mansion and you'll find a nice little cafe in the kitchen of the mansion. It is kept just as it was in the past plus they serve a pretty good chendol.

As someone with Taiwanese background but knows nothing about the Perenakan culture, this was a great place to visit. Get on a tour and definitely visit the jewelry museum & the temple .
