I discovered the community of Peranakan ( the Peranakan include several ethnic groups of Indian and Chinese origins ) in an article about the exhibition Baba Bling, appeared in an issue of Marie Claire Maison last October ... and I was very interested to learn more. Time flies and this exhibition me out of mind until I heard again speaking on the net.
Then last weekend, with Le Parisien, we faced cold and gray room to go explore that culture. It was also an opportunity for us to discover for the first time the Musée du Quai Branly. Moreover, we do not really like the exterior architecture, especially since the garden was in a bad state, which added nothing to the decor. By cons, we were awfully surprised few people, on a Saturday at 11am and it was not displeasing to us. For once, we were able to make an exposure without waiting one hour before each window.
Exposure Baba Bling takes you inside a typical house of a Peranakan family, since the front door, through the kitchen and the nuptial chamber.
Exposure Baba Bling, internal signs of wealth in Singapore reveals a fascinating story of how a community of immigrants has created a unique culture by leaving his own native culture absorb influences, customs and beliefs of their adopted country. (Source Branly )
This way, the visit ...

I loved the colorful dishes, including the facades of houses. Note that we appreciate much more colorful houses such as are seen in Notting Hill in London rather than gray facades. Many of you will agree with me, right?
I was also impressed by the embroidery work found on both pieces of fabric, shoes, knee pads married ( marriage lasts 12 days during which the bride and groom almost always knees), and other wedding items.
The exhibition ends with a few pictures of a Peranakan family today and a video of a TV series which apparently he had great success in Singapore.
And if you're in Paris, please visit the Musée du Quai Branly, exhibition runs until Sunday, January 30, 2011 .
