Penang Street Art

Get a map and start searching. I'm talking about the famous Penang Street Art by Ernest Zacharevic painted all around  Georgetown in conjunction with the Georgetown Festival but currently there are many new murals and sculptures which are drawn or made by local artists. Envy these talented people!

We parked our car at Prangin Mall, and began our search by foot with a map obtained from the hotel. Despite the scorching weather, we were able to look for most of the sculptures and murals.  Each sculpture and mural has its own name.

Hi! 'Boy on Bike'

'Reaching up Mural'
There is a brochure here by tourism of Penang to help you locate the murals and sculptures. Besides that for the owners of Iphone or Ipad there is an application called the Penang Offline Mural Map App foc (explained by Selina Wing in her blog) which also can help in the location of the murals. The murals can also be located in a map by Google using this link. As for me, I used a traditional map given by Tune hotel but there isn't a picture of it as it ended up in a shape of a chinese folded fan due to the heat. :)
