Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum

The Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum is a combination of three terrace lots that were acquired by the Chan family in 1861.Four generations lived in the house before it was opened as a museum in March 1985.The eclectic taste of the house, offers visitors a glimpse into the richness of the culture and the opulence that was fashionable in many pre-World War II Malaccan Peranakan homes.Today the museum is still managed and preserved by the Chan family, in hope to honour the Peranakan spirit, keeping it alive for many generations to come!
