Things to See

Conversations Gallery

As Peranakans re-examine their culture and identity in the face of modernity, this gallery serves as an introduction for the public by showcasing a myriad of Peranakan clothing, food, jewellery and artefacts.

Nonya Gallery

Domesticity has always been a prominent trait of the Nonyas. The importance of the sarong kebaya, the traditional Nonya attire that’s exhibited in this gallery, will be revealed as it not only highlights the skill involved in beadwork and embroidery, it’s also a preoccupation of the traditional Peranakan woman.
