To mark the city’s Unesco World Heritage Site, a series of of steel sculptures have been installed around inner George Town. Visitors can look forward to the sculptures at Chowrasta Market, Acheen Street, Prangin Road Ghaut, Carnarvon Street, Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, Muntri Street, Weld Quay and Malay Street.
The sculptures depicting the history of the local community are made from steel rods, and featured cartoons and caricatures by cartoonists like Tan Mun Kian, Baba Chuah, Reggie Lee and Lefty Julian Kam.
Here are just a few of the street murals and sculptures…
