Penang interactive museum and batu ferringhi beach...

09 June 2014

During this mid-year school holiday, we plan to take a one day tour around Penang island. After breakfast, our first destination is Penang interactive museum.  This "made in Penang" Interactive Museum is the first 3D art or trick art museum in Penang, Malaysia, which launched on the 1st of November 2013. It is the latest attraction in Penang with the aims to promote the history of Penang.

This museum is in the sprawling Behn-Meyer Building in Weld Quay near the ferry terminal. When you first walk-in you can see a mural 33m long and 10m high along the alleyway of the building. The mural depicts Weld Quay in the early 19th century when it was a bustling port used by the English and the Germans.

On the ground floor is an exhibition of clay and plaster figurines that showcase the culture and history of Penang. There is also a 10m long model Weld Quay in the early 1900s. It offers 34 giant 3D art pieces in the second floor that are not only creative but also tell stories about Penang lifestyle, culture and history.

For kids, they are really having fun on 3D art pieces in the second floor.
