A beautiful building and some colourful artefacts but not super interesting. Recommend combining a visit with a walk around Fort Canning Park. Otherwise it is a bit of a waste of time. More

Its abit out of the way, but worth a visit to understand Singaporean Chinese & Indian peranakan culture. Good exhibits & displays for wedding customs, costumes, eating, food, household, etc. Staff is very helpful & friendly. I still like the Peranakan Mansion in Penang more because its more authentic in an old mansion, but this one is very well done... More

The Peranakan Museum is in a 1912 building first used as a school. A nice setting to allow visitors to learn and appreciate the history and culture of the various Peranakan peoples living in Southeast Asia. These are descendants of local Southeast Asian and non-locals, including Chinese and Indian settlers. The exhibits are well-displayed, with multi-media descriptions. Worth visiting! More

Loved it. As a local, I had thought I knew something about the Peranakan culture. What an eye opener. Go. Look out for the designer pieces. There were famed designers from way back when for the beautiful intricate lace tops and the sarongs. More

Really interesting. Knew nothing about the peranakan people. More

This is an interesting museum, worth seeing if you are in the vicinity. It does not seem as popular as some of the other museums, but the lack of a crowd is nice. More

The rich heritage of the Peranakan culture is a must-see for everyone(including educational activities for children) keen on local customs, cuisine, fashion & history. We visit the museum at least once a year as there are excellent theme-based exhibits that showcase the skills and talents of the Peranakans. More

Very interactive and interactive with a unique insight into Singaporean history and culture More

Small but very well presented museum with a range of artefacts from life among the Peranakan community over last 200 years. Well worth a visit if interested in social history and art. More
