The Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum is a private museum in the
Chinatown area of Melaka. The museum is housed in a classic
nineteenth century Chinese shop house, restored to the state it
was in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Like most
all of these long narrow buildings, the Baba Nyonya shop houses
are pierced by two courtyards which provide light and air
circulation. In a traditional Chinese shop house, business was
done in the front half of the lower floor, while the back half
and all the upper floor were living spaces. This Heritage Museum
is owned by a Chan family. During the old time, they were the
richest people in Melaka.
The tours in the museum are guided, so you get a lot of information about every little detail of the lives of the old Straits Chinese. The museum is located along the Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (neighbouring to Jalan Hang Jebat/Jonker Street).
