Taiping Old House Museum

Hi everyone, I'm still in the busy mode. But I will try my best to blog from time to time. Please bear with me here.

We've visited the Zoo and the Museum as I mentioned in my previous posts

* Taiping Zoo

* Taiping Museum

This round, Calvin's friends didn't tag along because they have something on after the half day morning tour at Taiping Zoo and the Museum. So we had our own lunch and since we still have time, I decided to visit the Taiping Old Museum which recently just open during this year CNY.

The Old House Museum is a corner shop situated along Jalan Taming Sari. You can even see the clock tower (Jalan Pasar) by the side. It is even easier to describe the place - Just opposite the famous Ipoh Bakery at Taiping town.

 Entrance fee of Adult :RM5 and Children :RM3

Operation Hour : 10am to 5pm

There are certain parts like this huge walls, doors and windows are the original vintage design of this old house. Kinda like the olden Baba & Nyonya house decor.

For your information: This house is not belongs to the owner of all the antiques display here. The initial owner of the antique items told me that he rented this house as a display of all his antiques collection. Mr Tan personally owns an antique shop at Taiping area too. This rented house is taken care by him and his wife. To an extend, the alter table is still there and has not been removed - therefore, both of them continue to pray the ancestors as a repsect of their existence.

I found this very interesting. Mr Tan used this water pump, he said it still useful to them.

I'm attracted to this vase too displaying at a corner.

Very rare to see this big and deep ceramic pot now.

He has a few food tiffin carrier.

 More over here...

These trays still can be found, but it gonna be an antique in more years to come.

My grandma's house also got one of this steel iron.

We are approaching to the second floor of this house. Look at this olden days calender.

This house got the 3rd floor too. But it is still under maintenance. Mr Tan said he will display more items in the 3 rd floor.

All the old items here actually bring lots of memory for some people when they were young - like my grandma and our parents time. My son also found it interesting to know each and everything display here.

I miss this paper dolls cut out, mix and match -  ages like our kids right now only can remember Barbies doll.

I wonder how Mr Tan got this from? Cute right? This is actually a car toy for those rich and famous kids in the olden days.

Vroom Vroom...

My son said why he can't find this at Tesco?

Anyone can guess what is this? Or can tell what is this for?

These are all the women's accessories displayed in one fo the room on the 2nd floor.

This tricycle reminds me of Donald Duck going to fetch Daisy from her house.
