The Penang Islamic Museum located along Armenian Street, George Town, was built as a remembrance for the contribution of Malay leaders in the development of Islam in Penang. The museum is also known as the Syed Alatas Mansion.
George Town Street View: 1929 Building
The Street Art that Started It All
This is the most famous work in Penang done by Ernest Zacharevic, a Lithuania-born artist commissioned to paint some of the walls of George Town, Penang. It depicts two young children riding a bicycle and is located along Armenian Street, now one of the most photographed streets (or rather wall) in George Town (as seen below).
Crowds taking picture of the famous wall mural almost every day.
