  [NB: This review is for the Phuket Baba Museum, a.k.a. the Peranakannitat Museum, in Phuket Town, not the other Baba Museum in Phuket, which sounds lovely!] Don't waste your time. This building is attractive from the outside, and the gold jewelry collection in the old vault, as well as the gorgeous furniture in the lobby area, is well worth a 10-minute stop; but don't wait around for the second floor to open. There's not actually a museum display upstairs; instead, it's a 30-minute "new media" presentation across 5 rooms: two that involve mostly (entirely?) CGI videos portraying a young Chinese boy immigrating to Phuket, plus a virtual tour (with chunky, clunky renderings) of what the building might have looked like back when it was a home; a video of a woman washing laundry and children playing with water projected against a backdrop of the kitchen area; a video portraying women's traditional clothing patterns projected against a mannequin; and videos of food cooking, projected in giant skillets and pots. It's...weird, to say the least, and there are much better things to be doing in the area--but at least this is free, so if you need some air conditioning, I suppose it's a decent way to kill 30 minutes. As of February 2018, the new media presentation happened at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, and on Saturdays and Sundays at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.

  Very clean and peaceful. A good place to go relax and look at the photography after a walk on the town in the blazing sun.
