Wow, that museum sounds amazing! The Peranakan culture is incredibly complex, it's not something you can just pick up in an afternoon. I'd suggest looking for academic papers or books on Peranakan social history – searching for terms like "Baba-Nyonya kinship systems" or "Peranakan inheritance laws" might yield some good results. University library databases are usually your best bet for in-depth stuff like that. You could also try searching for documentaries on YouTube; sometimes a visual explanation makes it click better. Good luck with your research!
