About this place
Street art in Penang, Malaysia, is one of its most iconic cultural attractions, especially in George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city’s street art scene gained international fame in 2012 when Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic was commissioned for the “Mirrors George Town” project, creating interactive and whimsical murals that blend seamlessly with Penang’s historic shophouses.
Famous Murals – Some must-see pieces include:
- Children on a Bicycle – Probably the most famous, featuring two kids riding a real bicycle attached to the wall. - Boy on a Motorcycle – Another interactive mural where a real motorbike is part of the artwork. - Reaching Up – A little boy trying to reach something on a window ledge.
