Small museum where we can learned Phuket’s history and culture in brief.

Lovely walk around the small exhibits, free entry. The Phuket timeline is very interesting for those wanting to see where it has come from in the tin mining industry to tourism, right up-to-day with COVID-19. Upstairs is a Chinese influence history and a well done VR experience.

Free entrance and fully air-conditioned. A good place to learn more about Phuket history, as well as to take a rest while touring the old town with heat outside

Very good museum in the heart of Phuket Town. They have 2 separate buildings, across the street. One building was the bank and the other was police station. Interesting information you can found inside the museum. One building explains about the people and culture of Phuket and the others about history and development of the town. Many unique pictures, paintings and statue. Worth to go while you in town. Enjoy Phuket. Enjoy Thailand.

For such as tiny museum, the exhibition was suprisingly quite modern and engaging with the use of projections and 3D effects. And the fact that the place is air-conditioned makes it a nice brief stop to refresh yourself when touring Old Phuket Town.

Good little museum to showcase the history and cultural heritage of Phuket. After this visit, there are some food item to try in Phuket from understanding the food culture of the Baba / Peranakan.

A small museum about history of Phuket town. Because it is very small, it takes only around 10 mins to see everything here. To be honest, the exhibition here is not that interesting. However, the most interesting part is the history of the building. Here is used to be the police station but now is preserved as a historical building along with the building across the street which is the first Bank in Phuket (The Chartered Bank). When you see from outside, you could see the unique roofing style and the clock tower which is very iconic scenery of Phuket town. Moreover, it is also a few remaining of Sino-Portuguese Building.

A small museum, about the other history of Phuket that few knew about (including me) - Tin mining.. where Phuket had its start and eventually tourism took over. Ground floor only and an additional small exhibit behind a screen.. some interesting wooden crafts. Glad I came. Entrance free. Log in requested via LINE ID.

Literally a tasty exhibition with very interesting stories and details about intercultural food and its history. Don’t miss out on this treat ^^

One of the nice places to come sightseeing at Phuket old town. You can also see how this looked in 2014 on Google maps before it was restaurated (was an old white building). I would suggest the following: - Ancient buildings in Sino-European style - ศูนย์อาหารปุ๊นเต๋ภูเก็ต Local and Street Food Market - Hog's Head Pub - Saeng Tham Shrine - Phuket Town Old Historical Streets - Hai Leng Ong Statue (Golden Dragon Monument) - Phuket 3D Museum - Phuket Baba Museum - Museum Phuket (Phuket Nagara) - Surin Circle Clock Tower - Check for street graffiti during your walk

Peranagan, Baba- Nyonya Culture. Museum told about Local Culture more than 300 years ago. Living, clothes, Believe, Faithful, Government, Food, Religion, Trading History. This building was Standard Chartered Bank renovated to Local Culture Museum told visitors about Phuket Town History. Free Entrance.

[NB: This review is for the Phuket Baba Museum, a.k.a. the Peranakannitat Museum, in Phuket Town, not the other Baba Museum in Phuket, which sounds lovely!] Don't waste your time. This building is attractive from the outside, and the gold jewelry collection in the old vault, as well as the gorgeous furniture in the lobby area, is well worth a 10-minute stop; but don't wait around for the second floor to open. There's not actually a museum display upstairs; instead, it's a 30-minute "new media" presentation across 5 rooms: two that involve mostly (entirely?) CGI videos portraying a young Chinese boy immigrating to Phuket, plus a virtual tour (with chunky, clunky renderings) of what the building might have looked like back when it was a home; a video of a woman washing laundry and children playing with water projected against a backdrop of the kitchen area; a video portraying women's traditional clothing patterns projected against a mannequin; and videos of food cooking, projected in giant skillets and pots. It's...weird, to say the least, and there are much better things to be doing in the area--but at least this is free, so if you need some air conditioning, I suppose it's a decent way to kill 30 minutes. As of February 2018, the new media presentation happened at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, and on Saturdays and Sundays at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.

Free of charge We went there despite the mediocre reviews to escape the heat and were not disappointed at all. The staff at the entrance was friendly. Quite small museum but nice interactive informative displays. Loved the Chinese culture aspects. Definitely on the emptier side due to Covid.

(Translated by Google) Walking tour at night Recently, the little ones were silent. Feeling indistinctly lonely Overall the area is well designed for the city. Especially in the alley that has no wires (Original) เดินเที่ยวช่วงกลางคืน ช่วงนี้คนน้อยเงียบสงัดตา รู้สึกวังเวงอย่างบอกไม่ถูก ภาพรวมพื้นที่จัดออกแบบเมืองได้ดี โดยเฉพาะซอยที่ไม่มีสายไฟแล้ว

Beautiful! Located around some beautiful building. Doesn’t look like Thailand but the old town is like that, just impressive! Can be very hot in day time, because it’s better to visit by walk, walking around the street for 1/2hours if you stop in some shops, make pictures.... not to much shades as well....

Free admission, interesting history of the Peranakans similar to Melaka, Penang and Singapore. Helpful staff and it’s air conditioned, ideal to escape the heat for awhile. ;)

(Translated by Google) Free museum. They did not understand a bit: either it is very small or the main exposition was closed. Suitable place to take a break from the heat and imprint on old Chinese furniture (Original) Бесплатный музей. Немного не поняли: или он очень маленький или основная экспозиция была закрыта. Подходящее место, чтобы передохнуть от жары и повпечатляться старой китайской мебелью

Small but everything is nicely done.

The Peranakannitat Museum (also called Baba Museum) is divided into 2 buildings: Phuket Nagar (building with clock tower) and Peranakannitat (building on the other side of Phang Nga Road). You should start your tour in the second building. Both buildings are in the Sino-Portuguese style. It tells about the history of Phuket and its culture. Entrance to the museum is free. It is worth to visit this museum when walking around the Old Town in Phuket.

Interesting to know more about phuket living after ww1

Very limited exhibits.

(Translated by Google) Phuket must arrive (Original) 普吉必到

Museum Phuket (Peranakannitat), along with Museum Phuket (Phuket Nagara) across the street, offer history exhibits. Both have free admission and are worth a look.

One of the best museum in Thailand. A must in phuket

There is a game inside, quite enjoying

Well maintained, but the exhibits are lacking. Would have liked to see more pictures of old Phuket with more information about the history

Top marks for effort. Could have been more authentic.

National view point

Phuket then and now! Lovely museum with nice displays and excellent guide!

Excellent free museum detailing the history of Phuket (island and town) with a focus on ethnic groups and mining history. Very informative and an excellent break from islands other activities.

In the central of Oldtown Phuket. The building itself can be considered as the main attraction of Phuket Oldtown... A vibrant yellow color and if you lucky enough visiting at nite may see the building lighted by colorful LED.... No ticket fee to visit, just register yourself at the reception by informing which country you are from and how many people together with you... Visit the building without the tower first then cross the street for the one with tower... A settlement phase of Phuket islands is in display, starting from people coming for mining until recent days as one of main tourism area in Thailand....

Glad it’s free. Reception is extremely friendly, AC is great ha. Exhibits themselves are a bit disjointed; in terms of chronological order. But I understood a bit more on Phuket’s history and the Peranakan background, so at least that’s good! Spent no more than 20 minutes. Beautiful Peranakan furniture in the lobby. The adjacent building across the street has toilets and you’re able to climb the clock tower… but the roof is sealed off, so a bit disappointing there.

Free of cost. It was so interesting. You can actually go and wear traditional thai dress and have a photoshoot all FREE OF COST!! Additional bonus= it's near a beautiful city centre , you can make videos and pictures when the traffic stops at red light. Highlight of my trip. Absolutely loved it!!

This museum is a great place! It's a two-story museum with a diverse collection, including old furniture, interactive exhibits, vintage photos, and informative displays in both Thai and English. I wasn't bored at all and took a lot of photos. The entrance is free. It will take about an hour for a full exploration of the collection.

Small museum located in Phuket old town.

They close on 4:30 PM so check your timeline before going to visit this Museum. It is nice, organized, lovely abd clean. Staff is so friendly and helpful. The info is informative. And no fee is requested.

A smallish museum with prints of old pics of Phuket going back to its tin mining days... Free Entry... We went in for the Air Conditioning... Though if you have kids it can be a good experience as they have some fun filled handmade souvenir making activities there... My daughter loved it!!

It's a great museum with free entry. Well worth a visit.

Interesting stop during our visit to Old Town. Knowledgeable staff who were open to questions. More effort needs to go into the displays and depiction of Phuket history. Recommend a stop if you’re travelling with family.

Free entry ticket. You can find the history of Phuket town that formed from tin mining activity. Unfortunately not all of the information in English, so foreign visitor can not understand.

Nice little spot to learn about the local Chinese/Malay who were part of the area. Wonderful friendly staff and interesting stories of tin mining. Tickets were complimentary

Great info about peranakan. There are english description on each item/pixtures shown.Entry fee is free. We had great time learning how to fold the paper turtle.

Free entry, good for a short walk through especially if rainy weather

Fun little muse to visit on a rainy day. It tells something about the history of Phuket and about the early days on Thailand. Nothing to special

This was a really informative interactive museum with helpful, engaging staff and great use of technology. I went in with limited expectations, but was positively surprised. This museum is free and definitely worth a visit!

Good place to see moro about the history of Phuket

Whole load of​ ​crowd at​ front door​ made me​ misunderstood that​ they queuing for​ the​ place, turn out that​ they​ just wait for​ photoshoot at​ intersection.​ Personally i​ quite like​ the​ place.

Very​ nice​ place.

The place is getting ready for its visitors, it seems like it is going to give very useful information about Thailand and Phuket in general. For now it is free to enter, so you have no excuse not to visit :D

Great musium. They change their thame regularly.. ao make sure you check all of them

A simple museum about world war 2. As a history lover I didnt like it much. There was a panel about ww1 but even Turkey (Ottoman empire) was a main front, they didnt give any information about Turkish front. That was a terrible mistake.

Small museum. Did learn one thing... Phuket was affected by the second world war. Free of charge to enter. Worth a visit if you are passing by.

Free small museum located on either side of the main Street. Worth a visit if walking past, but not worth a visit to come too if you know what I mean...

Interesting and good place to learn about Phuket/Peranakan

Good place to start your phuket visit to learn a bit about history.

(Translated by Google) The museum is divided into two buildings. Completely quite small, but in an interesting way are described the customs of local Babow, that is, from what I understood, Thai settlers of Chinese origin. A large collection of traditional and ritual jewelry that really makes an impression. In the second part of the museum is described the history of the province. For me 4/5. (Original) Muzeum jest podzielone na dwa budynki. Całościowo dosyć małe, ale w ciekawej sposób są opisane zwyczaje lokalnych Babow, czyli z tego co zrozumiałem, tajskich osadników pochodzenia chińskiego.

The history of Thailand /Phuket brought to lufe

(Translated by Google) I stayed at the Casablanca Boutique Hotel next door, so I took a tour on a short trip. According to the staff, it is just like a Bon festival in Phuket. When I was struggling with my wife, the staff members taught me while folding them together carefully. Although it is a museum without any highlights, it was fun to be able to see the old town from time to time with photos in a time series, and to chat with the local staff in a non-free atmosphere . (Original) お隣のカサブランカブティックホテルに泊まったので、ちょっと寄り道で見学させて頂きました。 スタッフさん曰く、ちょうどプーケットのお盆のようで折り紙の亀を見学者に作ってもらい供養にするとのこと。 奥さんと一緒に悪戦苦闘していると、スタッフの方々が丁寧に一緒に折りながら教えてくれました。 これといって見所のないミュージアムですが、昔から今にかけてのオールドタウンの様子が時系列で写真で見ることができ、現地在住のスタッフとノンビリした雰囲気の中でおしゃべりできたのが楽しかったです。

The first pavilion describes the wedding customs, jewelry, and soft furniture of the early people. You can see the shadow of the Chinese who need to get up early from the decoration. The second venue describes history and World War II, and has some celebrity achievements. Relatively speaking, the museum needs to be meditated.
