Peranakan Museum is currently housed in the former Tao Nan School Building, construction of the building itself was completed in March 1912 and lessons were taught in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect, and later in 1916 Mandarin replaced Hokkien as the medium of instruction. When World War II started, Tao Nan terminated its classes at the start of 1942 and was occupied by the Japanese army. Immediately after the war, the Hokkien Huay Kuan took charge of the repairs to the school and Tao Nan reopened in Oct 1945, two months after the Japanese surrendered. In 1982, Tao Nan surrendered its Armenian Street premises and relocated to Marine Parade. Preparations for the inaugural exhibition of the Asian Civilisations Museum began in 1994. The ACM closed at the end of 2005 to be redeveloped as a new museum - the Peranakan Museum.
