A lavishly restored late-19th-century townhouse on Church Street presenting the domestic world of the Baba-Nyonya, Penang's Straits Chinese community. Over a thousand antiques fill its gilded halls, from mother-of-pearl furniture to English floor tiles and Nyonya beadwork. The adjoining Chung Keng Quee ancestral temple adds a layer of clan history to the visit.
