Absolutely amazing exhibits. Love the embroidery and intricate needlework. Gives you a good glimpse of the Peranakans in the older days. There are also some actual pictures of the Peranakans in black and white images. You can easily spend about 2-3 hours in the museum and there is a lovely shop selling books, recipe books, and accessories.

Lovely museum with compelling exhibitions in a stunning building. The gift shop is stellar. I really enjoyed the interview videos in the “Origins” exhibition as it gave you a firsthand insight into the complexity of Peranakan identity. The art and fashion of the upper floor exhibitions were also stunning. Only downside was that we missed a guided tour because it didn’t run during Lunar New Year.
