Our gallery dedicated to ceramics and food culture presents a refreshing take on the ceramics used by Peranakans and their diverse food culture. Highlights include a floor-to-ceiling display of some of the best and rarest examples of Peranakan ‘nyonya ware’ – ranging from traditional pieces to contemporary expressions, alongside an installation featuring a tok panjang, a traditional long dining table with a complex outlay of commissioned dining ware. Visitors may also watch videos related to Peranakan food.
