Façade of Singapore’s revamped Peranakan Museum
Peranakan Museum reopens to the public this Friday on 17 February 2023, after nearly four years of renovations. The museum invites all to celebrate its reopening at a special edition of Armenian Street Party: Peranakan Museum Reopens!, a homecoming weekend of outdoor performances, workshops, food, and beverages – including free admission to the museum from 17 to 19 February 2023.
With a focus on inclusivity, the refreshed museum explores the multi-faceted diversity of Peranakan culture and communities such as Arab Peranakans, Chinese Peranakans, Chitty Melakans (or Peranakan Indians), Eurasian Peranakans and Jawi Peranakans. Visitors will encounter intricate objects, interviews, stories, and contemporary expressions in the museum’s nine galleries spanning three floors.
Displaying over 800 objects, ranging from newly acquired or generously donated objects to well-loved artefacts and set pieces, the museum explores the Peranakan identity through universal themes of “Origins”, “Home”, and “Style”.
