Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum

The 'Straits Chinese', also called the Baba and Nyonya, are Chinese of noble descent who have adopted much of the Malay culture into theirs. This has been a gradual process lasting over 400 years since the great Chinese explorer Admiral Cheng Ho first brought Chinese settlers to Melaka.

Place to learn about Peronakan culture and daily houselife. Didn't take the tour , took the booklet instead for self guidance, was perfectly ok. There's also a small souvenir shop inside

Worth the 15 ringget. Good commentary by guide alto not v friendly . Amazing furniture n history in house. Better than nyonya house in Penang. Last 45min tour starts at 345pm. First tour is 1015am.

Worthwhile to pay 15 ringget for guided tour . First tour at 1015 am n last tour at 445 pm. More interesting than the baba house in Penang.
