peranakan museum​ 27 36

The Peranakan Museum is a unique cultural attraction in the heart of Singapore, focusing on the colourful history and culture of the Peranakans.

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 Peranakan community, also known as Straits Chinese or Baba-Nyonya, are descendants of Chinese immigrants who settled in Southeast Asia and married local Malays.

The museum’s galleries are divided into themes like family life, weddings, fashion, religion, and food.

Visitors are often wowed by detailed beaded slippers (kasut manek), ornate jewellery sets, and hand-painted ceramics.

Interactive zones let visitors try on traditional outfits or listen to stories from Peranakan elders.

Special sections are dedicated to Peranakan cuisine, with videos showing how classic recipes are prepared.

There’s also a café nearby serving local check here treats if you want a taste of Peranakan flavours.

Getting to the museum is easy—just a short walk from City Hall or Bras Basah MRT stations.

If you love learning about tradition and art, the Peranakan Museum is a must-visit in Singapore.
