Peranakan Museum

If you're intrigued by history and culture, then the Peranakan Museum is a must-visit for you, especially if you're considering Singapore tour packages from India. The museum delves into the lifestyle of Peranakan people in Southeast Asia. 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.
