A well curated and presented museum that covers the history of the last Kapitan Cina of Ipoh, the origins of the town’s tin industry, the roles the leaders of Perak, colonialism and recent history of everyday trade and culture. It is worth an hour’s browsing and also lots of nostalgic items from old shops that were saved by the owner. This is a rare chance to see the inside of a period shophouse. And don’t miss the great view of the Art Lane and Birch Memorial clock tower from the top floor! And you’ll learn about why he was assassinated in this museum. For Singaporean visitors- finally many of the names in our own streets and bridges (and history textbooks) come alive.

A beautiful historical residence on three floors, restored with taste and passion by a friendly owner, recently opened to the public. The rooms are teeming with objects, documents, videos and anecdotes that give a rich vision of the history and local life during the last century. Entrance is not the cheapest but it is worth it. A place not to be missed in the heart of the old town.
