Peranakan Museum Singapore is an important heritage destination in the heart of Singapore, focusing on the colourful history and culture of the Peranakans.

After a long renovation, it now boasts refreshed exhibits, multimedia installations, and hands-on activities for visitors.

Located in a beautifully restored colonial building on Armenian Street, the museum’s setting is as charming as its contents.

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.

Galleries cover everything from Peranakan wedding customs and traditional dress to religious beliefs and daily life.

Don’t miss the intricate beadwork, colourful porcelain ware, gold jewellery, and embroidered textiles that showcase the skills of Peranakan artisans.

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

You’ll see displays about iconic foods and learn why Nyonya cooking is so loved in Singapore.

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

Access is convenient via MRT or bus; Armenian Street is well signposted for visitors.

For anyone keen to explore Singapore’s melting pot of cultures, this museum is an essential stop.
