The museum is housed in a private residence from the World War II era that was donated to serve as a local museum. The site consists of four buildings and a garden, featuring three wooden houses surrounded by greenery. These structures highlight the cultural fusion and international influences present in the development of the area.

Exhibits focus on the lifestyles of affluent and middle-class residents between 1937 and 1957. The collection includes family possessions, historical artifacts, and specific displays dedicated to early 20th-century Bangkokian kitchens and sanitation.

The museum is open to the public and offers a glimpse into the domestic history and mid-20th-century development of the region.
