Discover Peranakan identity and culture at Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum. The Chan family built the former residence in 1861, and four generations lived here before converting it into a museum in 1985. Admire the eclectic and opulent artifacts the family collected from across the globe, and glimpse the richness of Peranakan culture in the architecture's combining of Chinese, Malay, and colonial British influences. Take a guided tour to learn about the dynastic family and the way their individual tastes shaped the house and its present-day appearance.

Remarkably well-preserved family house converted to a museum in 1985. A rare glimpse into the way a rich merchant family lived in the 19th-20th centuries.

Museum was clean and well maintained. Guided tour are available depends on the time of the day but it wasn’t available when we got there, but the information book was informative enough for us. RM 16 charge was money well spent, we learnt quite a bit whilst there. There’s signs clearly say don’t touch the antique items but sadly seems the signs were still ignored by some visitors. There was insufficient staffs to enforce any kind of control. People really need to respect these historic items to preserve them for our future generations..

Privately-owned museum that shows beautiful artifacts of Chinese noble descendants which adopted the Malays culture. I love how they keep the old building beautiful with its solid teak floorings and airy courtyard. Their nicely aired interior definitely makes a nice option to spend time learning history during blazing Melaka afternoon.
