Peranakan Museum

The Peranakan Museum is a boutique museum with one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of Peranakan artefacts in the world. With three floors of permanent galleries illustrating important rituals, practices and the material culture of the Peranakans, as well as their unique fusion culture.

The Peranakan Museum provides an enjoyable and educational experience for all, with intricate displays innovatively presented in ten galleries, children's interactives and special merchandising in two shops. Two temporary exhibition galleries will present a programme of special exhibitions throughout the year.

The Peranakan Museum is a National Heritage Board Museum under the Asian Civilisations Museum.

The Malay term 'peranakan' which means 'locally born' refers to the communities that developed in Southeast Asia, were descendants of the foreign traders to the region who remained behind, marrying local women and establishing families of their own e.g. Peranakan Chinese, Chitty Melaka and Jawi Peranakans
