Built in 1890, the luxurious mansion was formerly the residence and office of Chung Keng Quee, one of the wealthiest men in 19th century Penang and the leader of Ghee Hin, a Chinese secret society. After the decline of his clan, the mansion was acquired by a property developer in 1990s and revived it as a museum dedicated to Peranakan culture. The interior is a seamless mix between sumptuous traditional Chinese and western design with more than 1,000 Peranakan antiques.
