Baba and Nyonya Melaka
By admin on May 4, 2007 in Travel News
The Chinese who migrated here during the height of the Malacca Sultanate and married the locals, adapted much of the Malay culture into theirs. After a few generations, their culture blended with the locals’ and evolved into the Baba and Nyonya heritage. Thus, these descendants are also known as the Straits Born or Straits Chinese. Located at Jalan Tan Cheng Lock is the first private cultural museum. The museum boasts of exhibits that include unique Baba and Nyonya handicrafts, furniture, dining ware, ceremonial ornaments and garments.
