The Chitty Museum is a new enterprise of the Chitty community to document their unique heritage. Located at Chitty Village, Gajah Berang, about 2.5 km from Melaka Town, the museum exhibits colourful-designed traditional water-pots, multi-tiered brass oil-lamps, serving trays, sculptures, handicrafts and photographs.
