★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lot of things to see there. I used to think that I knew almost evrything about peranakans but visiting the museum really opened my eyes.
Definitely a place to visit again and regret dragging my visit to there so long.
Although I have to say that the musuem is quite small and doesn't have a vintage feel to it if that's what you're looking for. The place is extremely clean and modern.
Be ready to bring at least a few hundreds there if you want to buy a souvenir back home. A small beaded pouch alone cost S$80!
The shops are quite cramped and there's hardly any space to walk around as well.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very nice museum very cosy offering a lift to go through different levels. Beautiful chinaware and furnitures. A great idea to understand the old style life in Singapour on 19th and 20th century... can take 1 to 2 hours max.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small museum but lots of interesting exhibits for those who want to trace the root of the Peranakan people. This museum is housed in a beautiful old building which was formally a school.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The effort put in by the museum and the guides to preserve and appreciate, as well as teach about the Peranakan culture is something very admirable. The Peranakan who visit this museum will feel a strong sense of identity and those who are not Peranakan will truly have the opportunity to stop and understand what their culture is all about, its origins and practices. There is even a photo booth section where people can try out Peranakan clothing and take beautiful pictures. 5/5 worth a visit!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Peranakan Museum
Get to know Singapore’s vibrant Peranakan community and history at this top-notch museum, filled with fine artefacts and fun exhibits.
It’s safe to say that the Peranakan Museum is the go-to destination for Peranakan heritage and culture. It houses what is reputedly the world’s finest collection of Peranakan artefacts – such as jewellery, furniture and textiles – in 10 permanent galleries over three floors.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This interesting museum has many collections around the Peranakan culture and history, such as marriage ceremony, birth ceremony, the typical food, religion, and many other side of the Peranakan culture. Located near the city center, there are many transport option to reach this place, from taxi to busses. There is also a small museum shop just outside the main door. When we visited this museum, there is an additional exhibition for photography, showcasing photos on Peranakan culture from Singapore and other countries in South East Asia, dating from 1850s until recently.
