The Peranakan Museum is a art gallery in
Singapore focusing on Peranakan culture. A sister museum to the Asian
Civilizations Museum, it is the 1st of its kind in the world, that considers
Peranakan cultures in Singapore and other previous Straits Agreements in
Malacca and Penang, and other Peranakan neighborhoods in Southeast Asia. It is
located in the Old Tao Nan School building at Armenian Street, which offered as
an prolonged wing to the art n craft collection of Asian Civilizations Museum.
On January 1, 2006 the Museum, known then
as ACM 1 closed the Armenian Street wing for a major update. At its closing,
the museum administration decided Peranakan culture concept over a kid's museum
and a China ceramic museum as their new highlight in the Tao Nan School space.
This allowed the Museum to home the world's most unique and extensive Peranakan
museum range of relics and items, with a prospective yearly visitorship numbers
of 112,000 people. Also, the renovate enabled 25 per cent more event space for
contextual exhibits for various factors of Peranakan home and lifestyle. It
also contains programs for Peranakan-designed restaurants and shops in the row
of four shop-houses nearby to its building.
