Pinang Peranakan Mansion

An atmospheric period museum that preserves the rich Peranakan culture.

Showcasing thousands of 19th century artefacts, Pinang Peranakan Mansion is a comprehensive documentation of the vanishing crossover culture of the Peranakans.

Housed in an ornate, mint green building, Pinang Peranakan Mansion sticks out amongst the rows of unremarkable shophouses that line the narrow road. Once you step past the decorated threshold of the mansion, you will be greeted with opulent antiques and furnishings that give insight into the customs and traditions of a typical Peranakan household.
