What is a Penang road trip without visiting the famous street art of Penang? The street art craze in Penang was first initiated by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic after he did a couple of wall paintings all across historical Georgetown, and soon after that, anyone that visits Penang makes it a point to visit the paintings and have a picture with them. These wall paintings have definitely added a new lease of life and also fresh colorful character to the already culture-ful city.
There’s so many street art all around Georgetown, and we did not really have the time to visit all of them during our short visit to the island. So we visited the wall paintings that Ernest Zacharevic drew which sorta started it all. These paintings are situated around Chulia Street & Armenian Street.
Even if you have seen the paintings in pictures like a thousand times, nothing beats the experience of seeing it in person. So don’t forget to mark this as one of your must-visit-spots in Penang, and have a look at the awesome street art by yourself! For more information, just head over to Tourism Penang’s Website.
