The Chan family built the former residence in 1861, and four generations lived here before converting it into a museum in 1985. Admire the eclectic and opulent artifacts the family collected from across the globe, and glimpse the richness of Peranakan culture in the architecture's combining of Chinese, Malay, and colonial British influences. Take a guided tour to learn about the dynastic family and the way their individual tastes shaped the house and its present-day appearance.

This was an experience we had planned into our trip to Malacca. Learning about the history of ethnic Chinese-Malays and how they would have lived, how celebrations were experienced, clothes worn, was fascinating. Only a short walk from Jonker Walk, and reasonably priced for local education and interesting architecture (that you can then notice in converted shops along the street!). Highly recommend for people with an interest in local Malaccan history.
