Nyonya Heritage Museum, Melaka, Malaysia
The Nyonya Heritage Museum in Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock is a complex of three restored houses showcasing typical Chinese and Malay (Baba-Nyonya) dwellings from the 19th century. The Chinese Palladian houses have been converted into a Peranakan Museum known for its exquisite woodwork, porcelain, and furniture.
Nyonya Heritage Museum, managed by the Chan family, was built in 1896 by the Chan family's great-grandfather, Chan Kim Lay, for his future generations. The house consists of three terraces and all parts are almost 20 feet wide and 180 feet long with an air well in the middle for good air circulation.
The décor and artifacts along with the furniture provide a fascinating experience. It has been named 'Baba Nyonya' as 'Baba' is used to address the Straits-born gentleman.
