This is a place that you can understand more about Peranakan culture. This historic mansion is located at Penang Georgetown. Once you step into the mansion, you will feel the vibes that how Peranakan people live in Malaysia long long time ago. The museum entrance fees RM25 including tour both in Mandarin or English. The guide will tour you around the house and tell you the history of Baba and Nyonya. Highly recommended you are in Georgetown!Never forget that the Singapore drama - Little Nyonya (also the latest China version) scene are took from this mansion!

The contents of the Nyonya Museum in Penang are very exquisite, and there are quite a lot of places worth snoring. I want to know more about the furnishings in the house. At the designated time, there will be English and Mandarin guides to lead the explanation. There will be air-conditioning in some areas, so friends who are afraid of heat don't have to worry.

The Peranakans, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of acculturated Chinese unique to this part of the world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese. Adopting selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British, the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in Penang today.

amazing place to learn about the local peranakan culture and the guide is quite good
