Street Art of Penang

As I strolled down Armenian Street, the atmosphere was vibrant—colorful trishaws clinking past, the smell of street food in the air, and walls that spoke. Penang’s famous murals weren’t just art; they were interactive stories. Children on a bicycle, painted by Ernest Zacharevic, drew crowds who queued to pose with it. Nearby, a boy reaching for a hole-in-the-wall window created the illusion of motion and mischief. Street vendors selling coconut ice cream, handmade crafts, and cool souvenirs added to the charm. Locals were friendly, often pointing out hidden pieces I might have missed. I ended my walk with a kopi peng (iced coffee) at a nearby café, soaking in the mix of heritage and creativity that defines George Town. #penang #georgetown #malaysia
