Batik Painting Museum Penang

This museum is definitely worth visiting if you are in Penang. They have showcased the paintings with a lot of care and hardwork. You will find paintings from both local and international artists.

We loved visiting this museum! It gives you an insight about the batik connections in the region and work displayed are not just beautiful but represents the times back then and the hard work of the artists. We had done a batik workshop and thus admiring this craft is much needed !

The museum is on a busy tourist street. It has 3 floors areas to showcase batik painting works dated from 1960s to 2020s. There are traditional works as well as experimental and abstract expressions. I am very impressed of the range of collections and hope more people will visit the place.

An excellent gallery of a very talented batik painter. I really think that each tourist needs to visit it as it is one of the best arts I've seen ever.

Really great museum - I was brought here by my girlfriend but actually found it really interesting too. Very friendly guide welcomed us in and showed us a short and actually useful video (unlike many of these museum videos) about how Batik was made, and specifically a piece in their collection. There's then three floors of various Batik designs from Malaysia with a small international section on floor three at the back. Definitely worth the trip to understand more about this art form and appreciate various artists' utilisation.

Whilst humble and well hidden, you know if you’re visiting George Town that you will walk by it - go in, it doesn’t cost much, yet you will learn plenty about the beautiful tradition of Batik, a short film (don’t mind the quality, it is old but very interesting) will explain the lengthy and complex process. Once you know, your appreciation for this fine work that only patience can truly overcome is on another level - support the arts and craft, Batik is part of the culture and the ancient ways of it are most impressive, and the actual paintings inside are incredible

Lovely little museum with very friendly people working there. I recommend you take the time to watch the video explaining the batik process of I help you understand the process. Very impressive selection of art over three floors - nice way to spend 30 minutes in Armenian st.

We had a wonderful time admiring the batik paintings inside the museum. We were warmly welcomed by the kind staff who explained the batik concept and displayed a short video showcasing the batik process. The museum provides great insight into Malaysian and Asian art culture and tradition. Definitely recommend a visit.

This is a sneaky cool art museum. I went in knowing nothing about batik art, but found everything about art form amazing. Good video explaining how the pieces are made. Not a ton of pieces, but enough to appreciate the art form. Reasonable admission. Definitely worth a 45 minute to an hour stop.
