"Straits Chinese" or the Baba and Nyonya are Chinese of noble descendants who have adopted much of the Malay culture into theirs. The public can now view the heirloom unique to this heritage at the private museum run by the Babas and Nyonyas of Melaka Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock was Melaka's "Millionaires Row." Here you will find some of the most exquisite examples of Baba and Nyonya houses. Most of these houses display an interesting blend of Dutch and Chinese influences. You will be amazed to discover how the narrow façade belies the airy spaciousness of the house's interior. One house definitely worth stopping at is No 117 with its Dutch architecture, courtyard and silver-painted dome.
