Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum

 

This museum, run by the Babas and Nyonyas of Melaka themselves, gives visitors a chance to learn more about their interesting culture, which is a mix of Chinese and Malay. The Baba-Nonya are a result of intermarriage between early Chinese settlers and local Malays.  

 

Its furniture consists of Chinese hardwoods with influences of Chinese, Victorian and Dutch designs. The museum also displays ceramic designs from China, which were made specifically for the Chinese. The public can visit from Mondays to Saturdays, excluding public holidays.
