More...The Experience
Engage deeply in the rich traditions of Peranakan culture on an intimate visit to The Intan led by its owner, the renowned Singaporean collector Alvin Yapp. You'll be welcomed into the colourful, private museum inside Alvin's home, typically accessible only by appointment, where you'll discover his award-winning collection and gain insight into vibrant Peranakan heritage that blends Chinese and Malay influences. You'll also have the rare opportunity to view Alvin's assortment of intricately embroidered traditional Peranakan kebaya garments, featured on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which aren't usually showcased during museum visits. Afterwards, unwind over tea or light refreshments as Alvin shares captivating stories from an antiquated era amid The Intan's unique environs. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
