We were quite luckily when we arrived, just 5 minutes before the next English speaking tour. Our Tour Guide Francis was very passionate, informative and quite humorous. Was never a dull moment being a part of his tour and learned a lot about the Pinang Peranakan Mansion and the family it belonged to. After the tour, you had plenty of time to explore and take pictures at your own pace. I highly recommend joining a tour when you visit and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have a tour with Francis.

Decided to visit this place during my last visit to Penang and regretted that I didn't do it before. Arrived just around noon, paid the admission fee and luckily the complimentary English guided tour was started not long later (there's also Chinese guided tour started around the same time). I would recommend to join the guided tour if possible to gain more insights about the mansion and customs applied by the historical occupants. This place has one of the most precious glassware collections in the world, invaluable headpiece, gold handbags and beautiful stained glass.

First off, the staff were really nice from the start. They were very accommodating, friendly and approachable. i joined the tour given in english and learned a lot. it gives a glimpse of life in Penang in the past and it is very interesting. The art works and decors were really intricate and detailed. I think if you're interested about history, culture and likes looking at various pieces of artworks, this is definitely a place you must visit.

An excellent guided tour was provided by our guide Francis, who had a good comprehension of the history of the mansion, of the family which lived in it, and Peranakan culture! I first arrived at about 3:20 in the afternoon, but I saw that guided tours began at 4, so I went to the café opposite to enjoy a Nyonya Coffee (also very nice) and wait a little. I then came back for the tour, and I found the wait to be worthwhile! All conventional forms of payment were accepted and the tour did not cost extra to my recollection. The mansion tour isn’t just a few rooms, with the temple also being included along with the upstairs of the mansion, with plenty of beautiful pottery and furniture. I’d say as far as *must visit* in Penang goes, the Peranakan Mansion definitely ranks high in the list.

It was beautifully restored mansion with lots of antiques . The rooms were set up as if people were living there with the Tok Panjang dining table laden with fine tableware . The Jewelry section was very impressive . We had an entertaining guide. Unfortunately the day we went there was filing going on so we couldn’t explore the upstairs section . It’s a must see .

The Green mansion is an amazingly opulent example of what a successful business person could accomplish in the late 1800s. From the outside the building looks rather unassuming but once you enter, the interior is rich with exquisite detailing from the tile floor to the carpet, beams and decorations. Each room has one of a kind furniture pieces, glass and wood sculpture, porcelain , along with artifacts from the period, And tells a rich story of what life might’ve been like for the privileged few. The experience far exceeds what you will see in the much more talked about Blue mansion. Do not miss this architectural wonder.

If you want to know about the culture and history behind Penang and the Straits Chinese, this is the place. Go for the guided tour, it is rich in explanation and fascinating background of the mansion and practices of the Straits Chinese - people who migrated in 100+ years ago and assimilated within the indigenous population and developed a sub-culture and heritage across a mix of races. The mansion is well restored by the current owner who obviously has paid a lot of attention to details and history. Likely the best attraction on Penang Island.

An impressive living history based on a private home, and a Peranakan cultural icon. This is my second visit and the team who carried out the restoration have to be congratulated. It really feels alive and I almost expect the Kapitan to majestically appear with his extended family. Always amazes me that the public can sit in the chairs and touch these artifacts.

Very interesting and strikingly beautiful place which shines a nice light on Peranakan culture. Its full of lovely and interesting artefacts, from beautiful Peranakan ceramics, to beds, to clothes and textiles. The attached Jewellery museum is also impressive, and included in the ticket. The gift shop there has some lovely Baba Nyonya ceramics, and the staff there were friendly and helpful. A trip to Penang has to include a visit to this place.

This beautifully restored mansion is an absolute must-see in Penang. It is part museum, part historical house, part treasure trove and completely enchanting. Go if you want to learn more about Peranakan history culture, or are simply interested in seeing extraordinarily beautiful objects in a glorious old house. If you can, please sign up for a guided tour. Our guide Francis skillfully linked past to present, humanizing the grand old house with stories of its inhabitants and highlighting artefacts that we might have otherwise missed.
