Picture 4.3 Murals, street art in Georgetown, Penang

    Look at the above pictures. What are they about? Right! The first mural is about two children riding a bike and the second one is about a giant little girl. What is the uniqueness of the murals? For your information, the figures in the picture were painted on the wall, but the properties used, like the bike and windows, are the real ones. 
    My next question is, where can we find the murals in the pictures? The answer is Georgetown, the capital of Penang, a small island on the northwest of Malaysia mainland. It's quite close from Sumatra, especially North Sumatra. 
    Georgetown has everything you would expect from an old colonial city-a fort, grand buildings, stately homes and assembly buildings and old waterways marking a once vibrant port trading ground. However, there's one thing that makes it stand out from any other cities and that's its magnificent collection of street art, like two above murals. 
    The street art in Penang is the major draw. One of the main things you should do is spend at least one day exploring over 30 artworks around the city. You don't need to worry how to find them. Hotels and hostels provide maps marking the exact spots of the artworks, which you can use to your artistic treasure hunt. Well, let me tell you. Finding a new mural or wirework is just as exciting as the last and each one is an expression of the city's culture. Besides, it is also a great way of enjoying other Georgetown's attractions, like the authentic old buildings and delicious food. 
    Among the murals, the popular ones were painted by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic who set to work to bring color to the city as part of a project called 'Mirrors George Town'. The two above murals are his creation. Interesting, aren't they? 
    So, if you have an opportunity to travel to Malaysia, don't miss a chance to visit Georgetown, Penang Island. It's memorable.
