Love this Mansion. Bring you back to the old days of how does these people live in such detailing life! Strong influence from Chinese’s tradition. From their head to toes, from the living room to bed, everything is an eyes opening for us!
Truly “Crazy Rich Asian” 😂

Visited Pinang Peranakan during last weekend. the tour was given by Stanley was excellent. He made the history come alive. The mansion was restored to its past glories with original structure maintained. The current owner of the mansion spent about RM45 millions to restore the house. his effort is worth our visit. The original owner of the mansion was headman of the Hai san Society and a chinese Kapitam of Perak

With MYR20/adults you'll get the experience of the life rich Babas Nyonyas in the 19th century. Amazing unique antique collections & photos. Lots of intricate details on the mansion are pleasing to historical architecture lovers. But some amiss to me; the feeling of warmth & homey. I wish the arrangement of certain items are not too formal.
Of course, few visitors will take a long time to be in 1 space just to be Instagramable. Hopefully, they'll understand that some didn't come just to take beautiful shots, but to learn & immersed in the culture.

The English tour given by Stanley was a great learning experience. He is a very charismatic and funny guide that kept everyone listening. The museum houses exquisite collections of antiques dating back to colonial times. Anyone with an interest in Malayan/Asian/Oriental/colonial history will find this place super interesting.

Definitely my type of attraction. Love love loves the hours we spent at this mansion. Learn new knowledge and inspired me in making art things based on it. We didn't know that we were there for quite some time as we really enjoyed it. No time wasted.

Had a great experience through the visit. Thanks to ms. woo for giving great explanations and guide throughout the visit. A visit here would definitely get yourself insights towards the lifestyle and culture of the baba nyonyas back then.

I'm not sure I'm expert enough to describe the importance of the architecture. Perhaps, it's the unique blending of faux Chinese and Malaysia styles that rendered the entire Peranakan culture that much interesting. First floor like most houses everywhere is for daily living and receive visitors while second floor is where different private rooms are located. The visit to the mansion is really a chance to peek into the lives of the people of that period.

Does it suitable for kids 8-12 year olds? Are there English tour guides?

Yup! They do have English/Chinese tour guides. The guides use simple English to describe about the lifestyle of the Peranakans who lived in the mansion, so your kids will be able to understand the tour as well.
