Appreciate Peranakan culture at the Penang Overseas Chinese Museum

The Penang Peranakan Museum in Malaysia, also known as the Overseas Chinese Museum, is a century-old house built in 1894. It integrates the most distinctive "Peranakan culture" of Nanyang. Peranakan refers to the descendants of Chinese in Malaysia and Malacca. "Peranakan culture" is a typical combination of Chinese and foreign cultures. It shows the old life of Chinese overseas Chinese in Penang. Highlights: 1. The unique history and tradition of Penang's Peranakan culture, including the diet, marriage customs, social and family life of Peranakan people. 2. As an old house museum, the interior furnishings are greatly preserved. The exterior of the house is plain and unremarkable. When you walk in, you will find it suddenly enlightened. Everywhere is a treasure, and every step is a surprise. The shutter in your hand can't stop, and the rare treasures are too many to catch. 3. The integration of Chinese and Western is perfectly embodied. The hollow carved screen, English colored floor tiles, Chinese redwood furniture, Western shutters, Nanyang-style retro flower tiles, staircase iron flowers, etc. are matched together without any conflict, but full of atmosphere. I really like the unique and rich Nanyang nostalgic charm here. At the same time, the Peranakan Museum has been the location of many film and television dramas, including Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution" and Singapore's TV drama "Little Nyonya". The deep and profound Chinese culture, the romantic atmosphere of Europe, and the passionate Southeast Asia converge here, with a movie atmosphere, holding the old dreams of Nanyang, touching the thousands of styles, lazy and exquisite. Ticket: 20 MYR for adults, about 31 RMB, very cost-effective, including Chinese and English explanations. Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 9:30-17:00. Nearby attractions: The old town of George Town where the Peranakan Museum is located has many ancient sites and graffiti murals all over the street. Within 1 kilometer, there are Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Upside Down Museum, Love Lane, street murals and the Penang Clan Jetties included in the World Cultural Heritage Protection Category, suitable for arranging half a day to 1 day to stroll around.
