Situated at 2A Market Square, Taiping, this is the project of Tan Kok Siew (Kapitan Antiques) who has leased this old house and filled two floors with antiques and collectables from days gone by.
Entrance is RM5.00. The museum is opem every day from 10.00 am to 7.00 pm.
Apart from the items on display, the house itself is a treasure. Built in 1880 by Lim Ji You it was one of the earliest 3-storey homes in Taiping, if not the very first.
If you are withing striking distance, do go along and while you are there you might find a long forgotten memory in the antique shop just along the street.
