Profile

Penang museum & art gallery was first open to public in 1965 after undergone several renovation which includes re-paintings and re-arrangement of the museum historical collection. From far, with the museum painted "all white", one might just mistaken the museum for high courts or any government building.

On the first floor where the Art Gallery is located, works of local artists and paintings of old Penang are on display, namely those by William Daniels and Captain Robert Smith. From time to time, special exhibitions are held here.
