Baba Nyonya House Museum ({{langx|ms|Muzium Warisan Baba Nyonya}}), also known as the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, is a museum in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia that showcases the local history of descendants of ethnic Chinese-Malays called Baba-Nyonya or Peranakan in the state. The museum was established in 1986 by Chan Kim Lay, the fourth generation of his family to reside in the large house built by his great-grandfather in 1896 in Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, a street also known as "Millionaire's Row" for its luxurious houses.[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329170030/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-237008979.html "Malacca mixed tradition – Peranakan culture."] Philippines News Agency/Xinhua, 13 September 2010.Rina de Silva, [https://web.archive.org/web/20150329170028/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-142832716.html "Fading customs of Straits Chinese"], New Straits Times, 21 August 2007.[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329170032/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-94325314.html "Leisurely stroll for history lesson"], New Straits Times, 7 May 2004.
