We spotlight the newly refreshed Peranakan Museum and its special exhibition Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures. Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Noorashikin Zulkifli, Deputy Director and Principal Curator for Islamic & Peranakan collections at ACM, and Diane Chee, lead curator of the exhibition. After nearly four years of renovation, the Peranakan Museum reopens with brand-new permanent galleries exploring Peranakan identity through “Origins,” “Home,” and “Style.” Noora shares how the museum now integrates contemporary art, fashion, and design alongside historical treasures, offering visitors a richer, more dynamic view of Peranakan culture. Diane introduces Peacock Power, which traces the bird’s enduring symbolism of beauty, power, and divinity across Asia. Featuring over 100 works from the National Collection and private lenders—including textiles, ceramics, and ritual objects—the exhibition highlights how the peacock motif travelled across cultures, becoming a shared artistic language. Interactive experiences, holograms, and curator-led tours further enrich the visitor journey.
