For those with a love for the arts, look for the colorful Peranakan Museum at 39 Armenian Street to learn more about the history and culture of Peranakan communities here in Southeast Asia. |
 |
‘Peranakan’ is a Malay term meaning ‘locally born’ and the Peranakans of Singapore are descendants of intermarriage between Chinese, South Indian Hindu, or South Indian Muslim traders and local Malay women over the centuries. The museum’s ten galleries display a fabulous collection of objects and visual arts from this unique blend of cultures. |
