Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum<br />
At the beginning of the 16th century, merchants and entrepreneurs were lured to Malacca’s shores due to<br />
stories of the city’s burgeoning success and wealth. In particular the city saw an influx of Chinese traders<br />
who arrived in droves in an effort to escape Manchu rule. These entrepreneurs went on to marry local Malay<br />
women – descendents of these marriages were known as Peranakan or ‘Straits-born Chinese’.<br />
Their relative success resulted in these expatriate merchants becoming the principal wealth catalysts of the<br />
thriving city. The ‘Babas’ (male Sino-Malays) flaunted their affluence by purchasing Dutch townhouses and<br />
transforming them into out-and-out palaces. The interiors of these homes were opulent and stuffed to the<br />
tee with Dutch-influenced fixtures including hand-painted tiles and Victorian lamps.<br />
