Penang street art

Penang's urban art scene took off in 2012 when the George Town Festival commissioned a project called Mirrors, a series of murals by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic. Since then the street art scene has flourished. Zacharevic’s originals remain intact, others fade with time or are obliterated by redevelopment. But new ones can appear overnight.

Penang is a Unesco World Heritage site
