Street art in George Town

George town, the main city on the Malaysian island of Pulau Pinang, is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Mixing Chinese heritage with Indian traits, Malay culture and Islamic influences, it is a really peculiar town with loads of hidden gems and a street called Harmony Street where a mosque, a Chinese temple and an Anglican church all lie within miles of each other.

During the George Town festival in 2012, Ernest Zacharevic was commissioned to paint a few murals. Since then, a few other artists have added to the street art popularity in George Town.

Here's a few we have seen!
