2021-02-16

The first of its type in the world, the Peranakan Museum is committed to exploring the former Straits Settlements in Malacca and Penang, the Pernankan cultures present in Singapore, and other regions of Southeast Asia that are hub to the Peranakan community. Housed in the notorious Old Tao Nan School Building, this classic museum once went about as an all-encompassing wing of the famous Asian Civilisations Museum which used to be situated here, and is presently a sister museum to the same, specializing in following the origins and improvement of Peranakan culture.
