A good house museum is judged on the quality of its guiding, since a knowledgeable guide can turn a room of objects into a story. Many small museums of this kind run by appointment, so it is wise to book ahead and check whether a tour is included. Visitors often get more from a visit if they read a little of the background first, because the meaning of an object can depend on the family or the trade it came from. Regulars tend to bring a camera, as the rooms and furniture are often a good subject for photographs.
Katong is a neighbourhood known for its Peranakan heritage and colourful shophouses, which makes this museum a natural stop for anyone curious about the area's history.
