The Baba and Nyonya Heritage is the ancestral home of three generations of a Straits-born Chinese Baba family. It is now a museum that preserves the unique legacy of the Baba Nyonya or Peranakan culture.
Babas and Nyonyas are Chinese descendants who have adopted Malay culture. They are also known as Straits-born Chinese or Pernakans, and practice both Chinese and Malay customs. They are known for their unique furniture, dress style, and food, a marriage of Chinese and Malay cuisine.
There are portraits of ancestors on the wall and a small shrine with offerings of food an incense. On the 1st floor there is a bridal chamber with Pernakan clothes, as worn by different generations, a hat stand with umbrellas and hats, more silverware, dinner services, and tea services of the finest chinaware.
