Baba and Nyonya are Chinese of noble descendants that have adopted
much of the Malay culture into theirs. They are also known as 'Straits-born
Chinese' or 'Peranakans'. The public can now view the heirloom unique
to this heritage at the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum (a private
museum) run by the Babas and Nyonyas of Melaka at Jalan Tun Tan
Cheng Lock.
