Gives you an insight on the Peranakan history and culture. There are different galleries, where you can learn about their traditional wedding, gift sharing, food, religion, art etc.

This lovely museum gives good background to the special mix of cultures that developed in Singapore and other cities along the Straits of Malacca. The displays are beautiful and informative.

The Peranakan Museum houses a very important piece of Singaporean history and culture. It is very inexpensive and worth a visit.

This lovely museum housed in colonial period architecture has very small gift shop and coffee shop, too. Collection explores the multi-cultural background and traditions of the Peranakans.

I visited the museum with my in-laws and my four year old son, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We spent a couple of hours exploring the beautiful exhibits, which were set out using a variety of display techniques and interactive channels so that we all gained something from it. Having moved to Singapore within the past year I... More
