Depicting the typical home of a rich Baba of more than a century ago, the opulent lifestyle of these locally acculturated Chinese is recreated in the Pinang Peranakan Mansion to offer a glimpse of their many customs and traditions.
More than just a Baba-Nyonya museum, this century-old stately mansion of eclectic design and architecture incorporates Chinese carved-wood panels with English floor tiles and Scottish iron-works.
Built at the end of the 19th century by one of local history's famous personalities, the "Hai Kee Chan" or Sea Remembrance Store had once served a the residence and office of Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee.
At the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, the legacies of the Peranakans are not only commemorated but the restoration of this building complex also heralds the preservation of Penang's unique architectural history. ( The above text & information re-produced from the brochure)
