Penang - Part 1 (Street Art)

Street Art in George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

George Town is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island. George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (listed together with Malacca, another historical town of Malaysia on 7 July 2008).

Street Art
It all started off with a street art project called Mirrors Georgetown by Georgetown festival 2012. Since then, street art has been popping up all over the inner city and has stirred up quite a media frenzy. Here are a few pieces that visitors will probably come across when exploring Georgetown.
