Penang Peranakan Museum

    Penang Peranakan Mansion, the typical home of a rich Baba of a century ago is recreated to offer a glimpse of their opulent lifestyle and of their many customs and traditions. Built at the end of the 19th century by one of local history’s famous personalities, the ‘Hai Kee Chan’ or Sea Remembrance Store had once served as the residence and office of Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee.
The exterior of the Peranakan museum , the wall was painted in green colour and the grilles are golden in colour. 

A lot of drama taken in this big and luxurious house . Include the Singapore famous drama that I love ,"Little Nyonya" .

This is their tea time room .



The staircase in the museum , luxurious right ?

 The TV room with the antique TV and a Nyonya ancestor picture beside it .
The antique pot , the peranakan people call it "KamCheng" . I like the pattern design of the pot . Look nice !

The Patio in the house .


The room infront of the dinning room ,  the people will sit at here after dine and chit chat .
Ceki Table . The nyonya play this games as their hobby and pass their time because the nyonya cannot go out from home easily and need to stay in house .

I visited this museum because I like Peranakan Culture . I cant imagine the life of rich Peranakan family that live in this house . Its very luxurious ! 
I experience a lot of things with this trip ! Love it !
