5.0 (58 reviews) Friday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Ranking #25 in Melaka State Speciality Museums

Must see in Melaka

A museum featuring 50s to 70s old trades including old traditional chinese medicine shop, the red, blue and white pole barber shop, a go-go era tailor shop, village style sundry shop and an old tricycle delivery transportation of Rothmans, etc. It is very entertaining and also educational.

Wonderful experience
I took my four year old son here after a chance meeting with Mr. Tih the previous afternoon in a nearby gallery. The museum is compact but the space is used very intelligently and the exhibits are really interesting. Mister Tih has a real passion for Melaka and his knowledge is both deep and wide, furthermore he is such a generous host by taking the extra time with my son. I will never forget the hour or so I spent here, especially the time with the wonderful Mr Tih.

50s 60s and 70s nostalgia
A private museum sectioned into various rooms covering a typical (but quite wealthy) 60s living room and kitchen, 60s barber and female hair salon, Chinese medicine shop, bicycle repair shop, provision shop and 70s cinema showing a Bruce Lee film...and others. What makes the place really interesting is the very enthusiastic guide who is clearly passionate about the many artefacts, and the attention to detail with many photos, calendars and signs all evocative of the period. Well worth the M$10 entrance fee.
