Description

History
The building dates from 1684 and stands near the Cisadane River, making it one of the oldest structures in Tangerang. It was converted into a museum in 2011 by Udaya Halim.
Culture
The name reflects the heritage of Chinese settlers who made this area their home. You can see how Chinese and Indonesian traditions mixed together in everyday objects, from kitchen tools to religious items.

Did you know?
During restoration, additional decorative elements in the Peranakan style were added based on academic research because original architectural records were missing. This made the project a blend of historical authenticity and scholarly interpretation.
