The Peranakan Museum is a historic building dating back to 1912 which showcases the native culture through interactive exhibits and Multimedia Shows. The Peranakan Museum is dedicated to the culture of Southeast Asian Peranakan communities, and it houses one of the greatest and most comprehensive collections of Peranakan artefacts.

Housed in the former Tao Nan Chinese School, established in 1912, this meticulously curated museum boasts one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of Peranakan artifacts. Spanning three stories, the exhibits here vividly illustrate the social customs and distinctive visual arts of the Peranakans.

The Peranakan Museum gives an animating and instructive experience for all, while speaking to the living society of the Peranakan people group. This historical centre is a segment of the Asian Civilisations Museum, working under the National Heritage Board.
