The Peranakan Museum at 39 Armenian Street, which houses the world's finest and most comprehensive collection of Peranakan artefacts, is the latest addition to the National Heritage Board's family of museums. It will operate under the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM).

Peranakan Museum presents a Southeast Asian-wide view of Peranakan culture. Its rich material legacy and heritage are enhanced by state-of-the-art display technology, coupled with educational interactives for the young.

The main themes of Peranakan life are explored in ten permanent galleries of this 4,005sqm Museum. The themes include the elaborate 12-day Peranakan wedding, the role of the Nonyas, prominent Peranakans in Singapore's history, as well as one of the favourite past times of Singaporeans - food and feasting. It also provides a glimpse of how modern-day Peranakans have evolved with their culture.
