Gallery of Admiral Cheng Ho, Maritime history museum in Malacca, Malaysia.
The Gallery of Admiral Cheng Ho occupies the right veranda of the Stadthuys building, the Dutch colonial town hall that now houses the History and Ethnography Museum. Its displays include porcelain, ship replicas, books on Zheng He's life and related articles. The gallery sits between the Literature Museum, the History and Ethnography Museum and the Democratic Government Museum.
The site is linked to a time when Chinese fleets undertook extensive voyages in the 15th century, visiting many coastal regions and trading partners. The museum was established later to preserve and present this chapter of maritime history.
The gallery reflects how Chinese seafarers and local traders met and exchanged goods along these routes. Visitors can see through the displays how this maritime contact shaped the region's communities and commerce.
The location sits in Malacca's historic district and is easy to find in the old city center. You can explore at your own pace or join a guided tour if you prefer context and details.
