Peranakan refers to non-native locals who were born in Singapore. Peranakan cultures show the ethnic and cultural diversity of Singapore. The museum has distinctive collections of artifacts, furniture, and clothing of each era representing the living culture of the Peranakan communities.



3. Asian Civilisations Museum

Asian Civilisations Museum opened to promote a better harmony of the rich cultures that make up Singapore's multi-ethnic society. If you have interest in Asian cultures, you must visit here. It's the only museum that covers the whole region of Asia including Middle East.
