peranakan museum 27 36
Singapore’s Peranakan Museum is an important heritage destination in the heart of Singapore, highlighting the stories and heritage of the Peranakan people.
With its recent revamp, guests can expect modern galleries and engaging displays for adults and kids alike.
Set along Armenian Street, the elegant façade and heritage interiors add to the experience.
The museum tells the story of the Baba-Nyonya—descendants of Chinese settlers who married into Malay families, forming a unique hybrid culture.
Each floor takes you through different aspects of Peranakan culture, including home life, festive celebrations, and craftsmanship.
Marvel at displays of fine embroidery, delicate ceramics, and heirloom gold pieces made by generations of Peranakans.
Kids and adults can dress up in kebaya or batik and snap photos at special photo spots.
You’ll see displays about iconic foods and here learn why Nyonya cooking is so loved in Singapore.
There’s also a café nearby serving local treats if you want a taste of Peranakan flavours.
It’s centrally located, with plenty of public transport options and parking nearby.
For anyone keen to explore Singapore’s melting pot of cultures, this museum is an essential stop.
