Once you step into the Straits Enclave Peranakan Chinese Private Museum, you have gone back in time in a 1928 Peranakan Chinese home when these architecturally stunning shophouses were constructed in the Joo Chiat heritage district, Singapore.

Guest will be soaked in the ambience of the beautifully decorated Peranakan Chinese museum, and gain understanding of Singapore's uniquely Peranakan Chinese heritage and culture (Peranakan culture and heritage talk). Guests are welcomed by a captivating nostalgic ambience, followed by a feast for their eyes where they will be tickled by the stories behind the artefacts on display. The place provides fascinating insights into the development of this unique culture and heritage that infuses Colonial, Chinese and Malay influences into their living spaces, furniture ware, fabric ware, porcelain ware, jewelry ware and more.
