This is a toplist with the best street art in George Town, Malaysia. You can help to make this list better by voting for your favourite places!
The area has its simple charm. The place has two points of pride, actually -- the literal street art on walls, and the enticing small and medium scale businesses that dot the sidewalks. Be ready to view some iconic art.
It is all quiet in Penang and it is a great time to explore Penang.
Visited this prior to Covid 19. One of the many mural spread across Georgetown. A place for photo opportunity.
Ernest most famous and popular mural in Penang is the “Kids On A Bicycle” on the street Lebuh Armenian. It perfectly captures a fun moment from two kids childhood. I love the expression on the kids’ faces, they look so realistic and lively, like you can almost hear their laughter.
The “Kids On A Bicycle” mural has become a major tourist attraction in itself with long waiting lines of people who want to take a photo and selfie. The painting is stunning and incredibly lively.
With the actual bicycle as part of the painting, it feels kind of 3D and alive. It is definitely worth a visit if you are visiting George Town.
The “Kids On A Bicycle” mural was nominated as one of the World`s Top 15 Wall Paintings by the newspaper The Guardian (in the UK) in November 2013.
