A
Villa Sentosa
While not an official museum, the 1920s Malay kampung house Villa Sentosa, on the Melaka River in Kampung Morten, is well worth a visit. A member of the family will show you around the house. There’s a varied collection of objects, including Ming dynasty ceramics and a 100-year-old copy of the Quran, but most of all it’s an opportunity to wander through a genuine kampung house.

Baba-Nonya Heritage Museum
The captivating museum is arranged to look like a typical 19th-century Baba-Nonya residence. Furniture consists of Chinese hardwoods fashioned in a mixture of Chinese, Victorian and Dutch designs with mother-of-pearl inlay. The highlight is the tour guides who tell tales of the past with a distinctly Peranakan sense of humour.
