It was really interesting to learn about the Peranakan culture in Singapore and it's history. The museum has a huge collection of old photographs and interactive components for learning more about cameras. The staff is super helpful and caring about your feedback.

one of the best Museum in ASEAN countries that has present the Peranakan dedicated stories.
the museum spacing itself is not so big, but it has compacted with a lot of information that suitable for any people can bring their own family member to visit this place and share some social and cultural experience together.
I have never expected that I can see so many beautiful valuable collection of Chinese porcelain ware (during late Qing dynasty) in this exhibition.
the museum is well organized, this is the precious valuable place and definitely, it's worth for visiting.

This place is the perfect place to know more about the history and origin of Peranakan in Singapore. It has good static display with clear description. A section of the museum was under maintenance when I was there.

What a great hidden gem! The museum is very informative about a culture that is so important to Malaysia. They have an amazing collection of porcelain wares. We also really enjoyed learning about the Peranakan 12 day (!!) weddings! They also talk about different significant lifetime events. While somewhat small, it packs a lot in there! Highly recommend!

It's a nice museum, I learned some unexpected things about the Singaporean culture (especially about furniture design).

What a beautiful museum this is. The guide was so knowledgeable and really brought the historic displays to life.I enjoyed my visit so much I'm including this museum as a tour venue later this year.

If you are interested in the history of peranakans, this is the must go to place. There are tons of information which will help to let you know on the rich history of peranakans in Singapore. Various galleries with different themes help to make it easy for people to understand.
Tour is suitable for family and usually no more than 3 hours. If you happen to come by here, do check out the stamp museum which is just around the corner too.

This museum is a quaint, hidden away gem in the heart of the city. It has detailed exhibits that reflect positively on the Peranakan culture and heritage that does well to educate and preserve the knowledge and spirit. The museum itself doesn’t have much foot traffic because of its location, and many visitors are backpackers as well as students (students in school groups). The place is air conditioned and they have audio visual materials to supplement the exhibits. I don’t believe that guided tours were made available when I visited, but most of the information and guides were self explanatory. Some corners of the museum, especially on the upper floors are dimly lit, and there can be an eerie presence (chills!). I would advise to visit the museum in pairs or groups. Nothing bad happened to me by the way.

Individual ticketing at $10/pax. Singapore citizens, Permanent Residents, and children aged 6 years old and below enjoy free entry.
The building housing this exhibition was a school. Learn about the unique Peranakan culture and habits developed from descendants of local Malay ladies and foreign Chinese merchants centuries ago.
Guided tours (in English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and French) are also available. Check their official website for detailed timing available before visiting. Voluntary donations to upkeep and preserve the museum is also available on the spot.

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.
Roushan Ahmed (22/10/2017 08:45)
The tour guide was great! He explained the Peranakan roots and the cultural practices very well. He also answered my questions clearly with good information. Would recommend!
Shelley Henley (08/10/2017 06:56)
So interesting, fascinating informative displays with wonderful decorative arts exhibits. I spent hours here last time I was in Singapore and I will go back again next time I visit. A beautiful building as well. The museum shop was full of tempting wonderful delights and I had to reluctantly limit myself to two small pieces of peranakan carved china. But if you can save up, do so and go wild. Lovely stuff.
Mehul Shah (16/09/2017 04:15)
Great place to get to know about peranakan culture and history. Kids will love the multiple embossing machines they've put all over the museum. Make sure there's adult supervision though.
Ibrahim Roszini (05/09/2017 14:03)
Being Peranakan my review might be abit biased but this is one of the more interesting museums in Singapore. History of the Peranakan culture and the influence in modern times is displayed prominently and explained thoroughly throughout. Great place for history buffs to brush up on their Peranakan knowledge.
Koh Eddie (25/08/2017 05:22)
Very educational with many well preserved exhibits. You would appreciate the amount of effort done by the curators to document intricate details of Peranakan tradition.
Dian Nusantari (05/08/2017 07:02)
The entrance fee is $10 for foreign visitors. I would recommend strongly to join a guided tour since the docent is also a peranakan and has a unique stories not contained in the displays. The docent really helped make the history alive.
Joshua Andrew (04/07/2017 14:49)
Beautiful piece of architecture. Great museum to find out more about the lives of the Peranakan people.
Ronald Chong (18/06/2017 11:30)
A really great blast in the past that gives a lot of insight to the history of singapore as we know now.
They allow you to touch a lot of the items which is nice and refreshing compared to a lot of other museums.
Plus side free entry for locals and PRs! 😁
Leo Williams (15/06/2017 05:01)
Holds local and regional significance showing the lives, traditions and culture of the peranakan people. Has many showrooms showing parts of everyday life, household living and weddings. Would highly recommend for people interested in South East Asian an Asian history/culture.
Mary Thiessen (18/05/2017 08:19)
A local recommended I visit this museum, and I am happy he did! A beautiful museum and learning of the Peranakan people. Also check out the gift shops. The ladies who run the two shops are Peranakan and have wonderful stories and history to share and beautiful bead work to sell. Well worth the stop.

This museum is one of its kind in Singapore and probably in the world. A small museum it is but no small content when it involves Peranakan culture. The building is rich in history and architecture. Sign up for the hourly volunteer tours in English and listen to the verbal history that the museum has to offer.

FANTASTIC MUSEUM. It really feels peranakan. Must visit for tourists. the paid gallery is not worth it
HM Choo (14/04/2017 00:05)
It's a small musuem, nevertheless still interesting. Learn more abt the customs & culture of peranakan here. Joined the guided tour, hence was more fruitful.
Alicia L. (09/04/2017 17:32)
This museum is specifically about Chinese Peranakan culture. The definition of Peranakan encompasses all marriages between foreign traders and local women, yet there is little attempt to include other kinds of Peranakan in the picture. If you respect women's rights at all, prepare to be enraged by the historical facts documented in this museum. As museums go, this one was just alright. The paper embossing stamps were the highlight of the visit.
E Ooono (04/03/2017 04:15)
it's all about Pranekan history and culture. the Pranekans would recommend this place as an introduction to their culture.
Randal Mak (27/01/2017 02:30)
Unique place to learn about peranakan culture and chill out way to kill time
Agus Nugroho (19/01/2017 09:20)
A lot of wonderful beads and neddle works (if you love beads and needle works, you may spend hours here) but if you don't like them, you may find this place tad boring. Apart from that, it also shows us the culture and history of peranakan society.
Bareket Kezwer (27/12/2016 10:56)
The permanent collection gives you a great sense of the splendor and traditions of (wealthy) Peranakan culture. The exhibition about needlework was exquisite - they had remarkable examples of beadwork and embroidery! And right next door is the substation which has great murals covering its exterior walls! Walk to the back of the building to check them all out.
Stephanie Ngui (05/09/2016 00:48)
Fantastic museum full of so much information and history. I really enjoyed learning about their culture and customs. There are about 3 levels showing life, history, needlework, home life, marriage and death. There are interactive sections for kids including craft. For $10 it is excellent value. It is easy to get to via public transport. They have clean bathroom facilities as well. Air conditioning gets a bit cold so bring a jumper.
Qiuling Wu (30/09/2016 15:06)
The building is spectacular and full of history. I really enjoyed getting to know more about the Peranakans, their history and culture. Their beadwork is just stunning. They do a good job of explaining everything~ I learned a lot!
Nathan Teo (16/08/2016 14:33)
very unique, filled with extremely personal items with a rich history. the museum itself is nice as well, especially the top floor which has AMAZING lighting and beautiful architecture. great if you have an hour or two to spare in the area.
Joseph Ong (12/08/2016 02:42)
I'm a peranakan and what I've known about my unique culture was passed by word of mouth and daily living. A visit to this museum is an eye opener in many ways. What knowledge I had was increased by the information and exhibits at this museum. As this is a public museum, the artifacts on display was an accurate depiction of peranakan life from many regions in Southeast Asia.
Alexander Wermuth (22/07/2016 21:56)
This is my favorite museum in Singapore. It's all about the Peranakan culture and traditional daily life of native Singaporeans. The museum has multiple levels and there's a lot to discover. It's highly recommended to have a guide and it's totally worth the price. Our guide was a seasoned lady with an unparalleled humor!
Victor Goh (07/07/2016 09:05)
The Peranakan Museum has amazing galleries that provided a comprehensive guide to Peranakan life. The museum features some of the most complex and intricate bead embroidery that the Perankans are famous for. For a $4 visit, this was a really great way to spend an afternoon.
Reuben Conceicao (03/06/2016 01:16)
One of the best museums in Singapore. Learn all about the Peranakans here. The gift shop has nice trinkets.
Trabble Explorer (18/05/2016 14:52)
The Peranakan Museum houses the world's finest and most comprehensive collection of Peranakan artefacts, representing a unique cultural tradition.
Annabel Dearlove (27/04/2016 07:44)
If you are visiting Singapore, I would thoroughly recommend this museum.
Fascinating history about the Peranakan people - origin, language and their lives. I joined an informal tour which was extremely informative.
