Cheng Ho Cultural Museum, Maritime heritage museum in Malacca, Malaysia.

The Cheng Ho Cultural Museum fills eight linked old shophouses on Lorong Hang Jebat, some built before 1786, with 5,110 m² over three levels. Its sections are the Old Malacca Village, Ship Gallery, Treasure Ship, Antique Gallery and Garden Courtyard, showing Zheng He's seven voyages, Ming porcelain, a compass and ship models. A drum tower and bell tower stand at the front.

The site was once a center for maritime trade activity from the 15th century, when seafaring powers expanded their commercial networks across the Indian Ocean and beyond. Archaeological discoveries made during the museum's construction revealed traces of the historical buildings and structures that once occupied this location.

The displays explore how maritime trade connected China with Southeast Asia and shaped the region's identity through centuries of exchange. Walking through, you see how these routes influenced the daily lives and traditions of people across different lands.

The museum opens daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and is entered on Lorong Hang Jebat, off Jonker Street. Exhibits run across three floors of eight joined shophouses, so allow time for stairs between the Old Malacca Village, Ship Gallery, Treasure Ship, Antique Gallery and Garden Courtyard.

Five Ming-era wells, called General's Wells, were unearthed inside the museum during its construction and restoration. They lie within the footprint of the Guan Chang warehouse compound that Zheng He established on the north bank of the Malacca River, which originally covered 10 acres of lowland.
