Places not to be missed in Malacca
♥️In my Malacca itinerary, my favourite exhibition is the 'Baba Nyonya Museum'.
🧐This is a two-storey private residence🏠, later converted into a museum, it is said that the descendants of the Zeng family still manage this family business.
🧐The facade looks small, but it is actually very deep, full of historical sense.
🏛️【Museum Guide】:
➡️【Tickets】10 ringgit per person. The tickets are very interesting👍, not traditional paper tickets, you can choose from many small ceramic tiles with Nanyang style patterns.
➡️【Composition】Composed of three terraced houses.
1️⃣/Reception Hall/Men with social status can discuss affairs in the hall, which shows that it was a patriarchal society at that time.
2️⃣/Ancestral Hall/In the society of Baba and Nyonya, family unity is very important, and it is also a way for the next generation to understand the family history.
3️⃣/Kitchen and Bathroom/At the deepest part of the building.
➡️【Exhibition】
The museum displays the living objects of Baba Nyonya, the antique Chinese furniture, exquisite Nyonya costumes and porcelain.
Many photos on the wall can understand the interesting situation of family life at that time.
🌟【Highlights】
One of the World Cultural Heritage. It is a window to understand the Straits Chinese nobles who have integrated Malay culture.
There are many different types of museums in Malacca, and this museum can learn about the culture of Yu and Nyonya. Also the building is very special, it is a Nanyang-style building. Worth paying for admission
This Nyonya Cultural Center is a professional cultural center that introduces the culture of Nyonya Malaysia. There are many physical objects and documents here, so that everyone can understand the history of the Yanghe. He is also a witness to the intermingling of Malaysian Chinese and Malay cultures, and it is worth visiting to learn about it.
Nyonya culture is a culture created by the combination of Chinese men and local women. It has both Chinese characteristics and local characteristics. It is a very interesting cultural museum. The taste of Nyonya cuisine is also very good.
This private museum close to Jonker Walk is actually the home of the Chan Chen Siew family since the 1900s. But now you can enter and see for yourself this historical heritage.
The house is beautiful throughout, with a pair of central open air courtyards, lovely tiles, carved wood, mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture and various displays of period pieces. I particularly liked the master bedroom with a spyhole to check who is calling; the kitchen with a retro ice cream maker – no refrigeration, no electricity, just kids’ own churning power; and the etched glass memorials to Chan Jr and his wife (late 20th century but still very attractive).
its about melaka culture to the young generation
The cost depends on whether the whole itinerary is self-guided or described by a special person. After buying the ticket, the hospital will explain the rules and give a guide. Generally speaking, self-guided tour is not a big problem.
A captivating cultural journey! enjoy the history
