About Straits & Oriental Museum Admission Ticket

The museum housed at a heritage house in George Town hosts a wide range of artifacts and exhibits reflecting the Peranakan culture, history and heritage. Unlike typical history museums, the Straits & Oriental Museum is a dynamic fusion of culture, art, and lifestyle. With its rare shipwrecked porcelain and immersive storytelling, it offers a rich glimpse into Penang’s maritime past.

Explore the popular ceramic wares like Kraak and Canton, beautiful artifacts ranging from humble Tang and Song dynasty ware to sophisticated Qing blue-and-white porcelain and lavish Famille Rose pieces. Also gaze up to the pieces collected hazardously from different wrecks.

Visitors can step into the vibrant world of Peranakan culture through the museum’s interactive exhibits and multimedia displays. With colorful stories, designs, hands-on elements, and eye-catching visuals, the experience is fun and immersive for all ages, making history come alive in the most exciting way!
