- RosliSydney, Australia1,832 contributionsLovely market with great food and one of the best coffee’s in Penang. The traders are all selling wares that they have mostly created themselves.
Most items had no appeal to us but if you have children or relatives with children there are some great products that would make good gifts.
They had a wonderful trio singing and playing music which created a fun vibe. There was an exhibition of paintings showing the various monkies of Malaysia. Very, very expensive.
I would highly recommend a visit even if it’s just to have a perfect coffee and snack to go with it.Written 20 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Something for everyone hunting for beautiful pieces.Written 2 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SojournerKuala Lumpur, Malaysia33 contributionsTAG Penang is not just an art gallery, but an institution dedicated to arts. Penang is fortunate that Ee Lene has not only taken up the baton, but has kept the passion very much alive.
What piqued my interest was TAG's collection of works by Lim Jee Yuan, of which I made my first purchase during my visit. With TAG's extensive collection of works, it wasn't long before I made my second and subsequent purchases from artists like Alex Leong and Kek Hoon Pin.
Ee Lene was even most helpful in commissioning a talented young artist, Tan Jun Wei, to complete a piece for me (as I had missed out on some of his other pieces showcased during TAG's 'Here & Now' exhibition).
In all likelihood, there will be something in TAG, Penang that will appeal to art lovers. And the fact that TAG provides a platform for budding artists to display their works is an absolute plus.
It's someway off the heritage section of Georgetown, but worth the trip, even if it's only to appreciate the wealth of talent Penang has to offer. Do call in advance to set viewing appointments though.Written 18 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Had a great chat with the curator.
Highly recommend!
Good cafe and museum on the ground floor as well.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Unlike many other Asian places where the shop mainly retails art this is the workshop of Mr Amila who hails from Sri Lanka and is a naturalized Malaysian
You can find him mostly from noon onwards making his masterpieces of abstract art of life , human and nature
With his extensive experience in living life and practicing Buddhist meditation you can almost feel the intensity and yet the calmness in his work
Do find some time to chat with him as he can bring you towards a journey of his art pieces
See how the coexistence of nature, buddhism , meditation and art has created a blend of interdependence in his artworkWritten 5 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GDay1044Durban, South Africa1,195 contributionsWe were staying at the hotel and the receptionist suggested we had a look here - the history of the hotel going back to its founding and the influence it had on George Town and visa versa is detailed with posters and photos together with some exhibits - obviously the Hotel is proud of this associated and are to be commended for putting aside the space to mount this exhibition.Written 11 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
