Co-organised by the Association and the NUS Baba House
Join us for a virtual tour of the NUS Baba House, a beautifully restored, rare architectural gem in Singapore’s historic district of Blair Plain. Once the ancestral home of a Peranakan Chinese family, the Wees, the property was acquired by the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2006 with funds donated by Ms Agnes Tan in memory of her late father, the prominent Peranakan Chinese businessman and philanthropist, Sir Tun Tan Cheng Lock.
In 2007, the house was restored to showcase Peranakan Chinese material culture and aesthetics within a domestic setting. The interior takes visitors on an experiential trip into a Peranakan Chinese family home of the 1920s.
The NUS Museum, NUS Department of Architecture, the Urban Redevelopment Authority and The Peranakan Association Singapore were the main partners in this conservation project.
