NUS Baba House

This museum is owned by NUS. We had a docent tour by Audrey who provided interesting accounts of the Peranakan way of life and knowledgeable insights. While no pictures are allowed inside the house, you can take pictures outside. There is an elevator for those with mobility issues, to access the second floor. There are also some well preserved artifacts in the house and I like how this living museum is also used as a research centre for NUS architecture students.

We had a lovely visit today at the Baba House. We booked a self-guided tour because it was the only option on weekends. Even so, the staff explained a lot to us about Peranakan culture so the whole visit was very informative. The house itself is beautiful, nicer than it looks in the pictures. I don’t know who the other reviewers dealt with, but the staff there during our visit were all extremely kind and helpful. Overall, worth visit!

The tour is only at 10 and lasts 1h. The volunteer who guided us was very passionate about the history of the house. Definitely worth a visit
