At Peranakan museum, we saw the exhibition featuring the art of nyonya needlework, a vibrant part of Peranakan Chinese heritage. Some of the finest examples of nyonya needlework, from the Peranakan Museum and major international collections, will be displayed.
Spectacular curtains and hangings, delicate purses, handkerchiefs, and slippers were painstakingly stitched with tiny beads, silk, and gold and silver threads for special occasions and as gifts.
We were impressed by the ingenuity and skill embedded in the art, and learnt the importance of tradition, and the innovations inspired by the dynamic, multicultural environment of the region.
