★★★★★3 months ago💐If you enjoy the architecture building and cultural heritage and fixtures and also the Peranakan culture as well as the various exhibitions related to. Definitely worth to visit and explore. The surrounding areas are very beautiful too. Do come and enjoy the 3 levels of exhibitions. 👍nearby there is a public car park but limited number.
CK Cheong
★★★★★2 months agoThis is a pleasant surprise. The building itself was formerly Tao Nan School and has been beautifully and meticulously refurbished. The museum provides a good background of the Peranakan history and culture and hosts breathtaking exhibits including traditional and fusion costumes, jewelry and accessories, furniture, utensils and even a carriage. The pieces were gorgeous and the museum marvelously restored to host the impressive collection. Well worth a visit
