BaBa & NyoNya
(12/10/10)

the descendants of noble Chinese who migrated to the British Straits Settlements of Singapore, Malacca and Penang, and adopted the Malay culture. This unique blend of cultures is born after the intermarriages between them and the local Malay.

In the museum, i can saw many kind of nyonya kebaya. The Nyonya kebaya is a traditional blouse associated with the Peranakan culture, worn by women and is popular not only in Malaysia but countries in this region.

I can learn each and every bit of their history, culture and way of life within the four walls of this wonderfully designed building and find the beautifully crafted and intricately designed miniature shoes presented next to the black and white photo exhibit of early Melaka.
