The Batik Painting Museum Penang (Malay: Muzium Lukisan Batik Pulau Pinang) is a museum about batik in George Town, Penang, Malaysia.[2]

History

The building was purchased in 2010 and underwent a three-year renovation before it was opened on 1 October 2013.[3]

Architecture

The museum is located in a three-story Straits eclectic-style shop house.[4]

Exhibition

There are around 80 batik paintings being exhibited in the museum.[5] The Museum showcases the earliest batik paintings done in the 1950s by the 'Father of Batik Painting' Chuah Thean Teng in Penang and the subsequent works by other Malaysian artists. Currently there are now 80 batik paintings by 25 artists in display. A small international section is included. Visitors will be able to view an excellent collection of magnificent batik paintings not to be seen anywhere else. This is definitely the only batik painting museum in Malaysia, and possibly in the world.
