From the Penang Tourist Information Centre keep walking in direction of town along Beach Street and turn into Lorong Chee An, also known as &#;Chicken Lane&#;. Walk a few meters in and you reach your first stop to your right.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.

1. Stop: Giant chicken

Lorong Cee An (Chicken Alley)

Head back to Lebuh Pantai and keep walking passing Lebuh Pasar (right) until you reach a parking lot to your right. (google maps: &#;Genius Parking Little India&#; ) Here you&#;ll find two big murals covering the walls to both sides of the parking lot.

2. Stop: Large quirky and colourful boat

Genius Parking Little India, 130, Beach St

3. Stop: Woman with monkey

Genius Parking Little India , 130, Beach St

Both of these colourful and surreal designs are still fairly new and were the result of the Urban Xchange street art festival.

Note that the parking lot seems to be closed sometimes (It happened to us when walking by on a Sunday) so you can only take pictures through the gate. Advantage though &#; no parking cars! &#;

SNACK Tip for ART & COFFEE LOVERS:

If you fancy a hot or cold coffee with some beautiful 3D art then there is &#;Coffee on the Table&#; right next door to the parking lot. They do beautiful creations. Prices start from around 14 RM for a cup of coffee with some cute 3D art.

Keep walking to the next crossroad and turn left into Gat Lebuh Chulia heading towards Penang&#;s famous Clan Jetties. Shortly before the end of the street you&#;ll find several murals, five in a little side alley to your left (including the famous &#;Brother and Sister on a Swing&#;) and another one across the road in a little patio next to the &#;Container Hotel&#;.

4. Stop: &#;Children Playing Basketball&#;

Gat Lebuh Chulia (Next to the Container Hotel to your right in a little patio)

You might think that this popular and interactive mural must be from Zacharevic &#; as it completely looks like his other popular art pieces around the city but actually it was done by a local named Louis Gran who has also painted the famous mural of &#;Brother and sister on a swing&#;. (stop 6)

5. Stop: &#;Queue for Soy Bean&#;

Gat Lebuh Chulia (In a little side alley to your left, across the road from Stop 4)

6. Stop: &#;Brother and Sister on a Swing&#;

Gat Lebuh Chulia (In a little side alley to your left next to Stop 5)

Again an interactive piece and done by Louis Gran and not Zacharevic. Definitely one of our favourites in Georgetown.

7. Stop: &#;Minion Fireman&#;

Gat Lebuh Chulia (on the wall across stop 5.)

Continue walking to the end of the streets towards the Clan Jetties. There used to be another famous Zacharevic piece of two boys in a boat here however unfortunately it no longer exists.

However, the Jetties are still worth a stop if you have some time!

Sightseeing Tip:

If you have time you can explore the famous Chew Jetty before heading back into the centre of town. Here you can buy souvenirs and snacks as well as enjoy the views.

At the end of Gat Lebuh Chulia take a right onto busy Pengkalan Weld and another right on Gat Lebuh Armenian leading back into town. This road is packed with various street art so if you only have little time, just keep walking down Lebuh Armenian to get your fair share of street art fix.

Coming from the Jetties you&#;ll find the first design along this road on your right just before the first intersection and next to the Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop.

8. Stop: &#;Children behind window bar&#; or also known as &#;I want bao&#;

28, Gat Lebuh Armenian

One of our favourites &#; Two children reaching out for some dim sum treats.

This piece features two children stretching their hands from inside a window towards a parked bicycle loaded with dim-sum trays. This design was painted by WK Setor who was invited to do the mural by his friend who run the Pastry Shop.

It&#;s super fun to take some pictures here as it&#;s also an interactive design where you can sit on the bike &#; we love these ones!!!

Keep walking straight along Lebuh Armenian, crossing Beach Street and you&#;ll find the next two murals on your left.

9. Stop: &#;Love me like your fortune cat&#;

10. Stop: &#;Giant Disco Monkey&#; (NEW)

Gat Lebuh Armenian

&#;Love me like your fortune cat&#; &#; mural next to the disco monkey.

Disco monkey getting ready for another night out!

Continue walking up Gat Lebuh Armenian until you see the next mural on your right of a giant cat called &#;Skippy&#; as well as a small side alley leading to a café&#;s &#; &#;Gayo Coffee&#; &#; back entrance &#; where you&#;ll find even more hidden murals (stop 12).

11. Stop: &#;Skippy&#;

Gat Lebuh Armenian

This giant cat was named &#;Skippy&#; and he&#;s definitely the star of the &#;101 Lost Kittens Project&#;&#; an initiative by Artists for Stray Animals (ASA) to help raise awareness over the issue of helping find homes for stray animals in Penang.

12. Stop: &#;Please Care and Bathe me&#;

Just off Gat Lebuh Armenian in a small side alley leading to the back entrance of &#;Gayo Coffee&#; on your right.

This cute little mural of two cats is also part of the &#;101 Lost Kittens Project&#; and can be easily missed as it is very small (especially compared to Skippy!) and hidden at the back of this little alley (next to an iron gate!)

Extra Stop: Butterfly Wings across Stop 12.

&#;Please care and bath me&#; mural hidden in a small alley

Berit with her coffee-styled butterfly wings at the back entrance of Gayo Coffee.

Coffee Tip: If you need a break and need to cool down a bit we can recommend this &#;Gayo Coffee&#; café located at the end of this small street, nice décor and great cakes!

Head back to Gat Lebuh Armenian and keep walking straight. After crossing the next intersection this road is only called Lebuh Armenian and you&#;ll find your next mural &#; and the busiest and most popular one by far &#; on your right.

13. Stop: &#;Little Children on a Bicycle&#;

2 Lebuh Armenian

Penang&#;s most popular street art &#; done by Ernest Zacharevic

This mural is Zacharevic&#;s most famous and popular piece and there is always a queue of tourists waiting to take their picture with this interactive design &#; no surprise as it&#;s the ultimate &#;I was in Penang&#;-IG picture! &#;

But be careful, there is quite some traffic along the road right in front of the mural so take care not to get run over by a rickshaw or taxi while crossing the street to take your picture.

Once you got your picture keep walking up the street and you&#;ll find plenty of more street art &#; mainly on your right.

The next three ones (stop 14 &#; 16) are hidden in a small side alley (not even mentioned on google maps!) just off Lebuh Armenian to your right next to a souvenir shop (known on google maps as &#;Red Penang Cultural House&#;).

14. Stop: &#;I can help catch rats&#;

Another popular one from the &#;101 lost Kitten Project&#; on the wall at the entrance of the narrow alley showing a cat that is prancing upon a rate. (Part of the projects initiative was to encourage locals to keep cats to help catch rats).

15. Stop: Rapping Penguins

This funny black-and-white piece of 3 penguins often gets missed as it&#;s fairly small at the bottom of a wall. You can find it right opposite of Stop 14.

Follow this narrow lane a bit further and you&#;ll find another hidden mural just around the corner:

16. Stop: &#;No Animal Discrimination Please&#;

View of this mural from a small back alley

This piece, also part of the &#;101 Lost Kittens Project&#; shows 3 cats walking over a colour pattern of a dog and promotes equal treatment for pets. (cats and dogs).

From here you can either continue straight until you reach Lorong Soo Hong where you&#;ll turn left towards the purple building or you walk back the way you came until you get to Lebuh Armenian again walking further down until you see the big purple building on your right. On this wall you&#;ll find your next (and very cute!) mural.

17. Stop: &#;Three little girls&#;

Lorong Soo Hong &#; On the wall of the purple building

This fairly small piece shows 3 cute little girls in traditional costumes.

18. Stop: Lion break-dancing out of Wall

A lot of Penang&#;s street art revolves around its cultural heritage like the chinese dance performed for good luck.

Shortly before the end of the road you&#;ll see a little narrow side alley off Lebuh Armenian on your right. As per google maps this road has no name but you&#;ll find it between a bicycle rental shop and a parking lot with a steel-rod sculpture.

Walk down that alley as there are plenty of more murals hidden inside (mostly new). A few of them are mentioned below: Stop 19 &#; 21.

For more information, please visit XIANGTAI.

19. Stop: Street Market Seller (NEW)

20. Stop: Two men pushing a door (NEW)

21. Stop: Woman lighting incense sticks (NEW)

Woman lighting incense sticks

street food hawker

Two guys pushing a door

Once you are done taking pictures of all these murals in this lane head back to Lebuh Armenian and at the next crossroad turn left into Lebuh Cannon.

Walk down the road for a bit and you&#;ll find the next mural on your right.

22. Stop: &#;Reaching up &#; Boy on Chair&#;

14 Lebuh Cannon

&#;Reaching Up&#; is another famous piece by Ernest Zacharevic which he painted during the Georgetown Festival. The &#;Reaching Up&#; mural shows a little boy reaching for a hole in the wall.

Right across the street from Stop 22 at the start of a tiny back alley is another colourful mural of a cat peaking out of a window.

23. Stop: &#;Cat looking out of a window&#; (NEW)

14 Lebuh Cannon across stop 22

 

Head back Lebuh Cannon the way you came from and turn into Lebuh Armenian again. Take the second alley to your left at the purple building into Lorong Soo Hong passing stop 17 again on your left.

Watch out for the next art piece which is right in the middle of the street.

24. Stop: March Simpson bollard

Lorong Soo Hong

If you&#;re just walking by you&#;ll most likely miss this piece (we missed it twice as we weren&#;t paying attention &#;) So watch out for a blue bollard in the middle of the street representing March Simpsons head and lush blue hair style.

Keep walking straight until you reach Lebuh Ah Quee and turn right. Another street art hot spot &#; you&#;ll find plenty of murals along this road a bit further down.

The first on on this road you&#;ll find is another minion. Gotta love these little yellow fellas!

25. Stop: &#;Shouting Minion&#;

Lebuh Ah Quee &#; next to another steel-rod sculpture

In this design the minion is shouting at a fire hydrant with a loudhailer.

The next two street art designs are actually a bit hidden in a little patio just off Lebuh Ah Quee to your left.

26. Stop: &#;The real Bruce Lee would never do this&#;

Unfortunately this mural is about to disappear. You can barely see Bruce and the cat anymore.

27. Stop: Happy Dog with Steak (NEW)

Right across from Stop 26 is another one &#; a very happy comic style dog with a steak.

The last four murals are at the very end of Lebuh A Quee more or less directly next to each other.

28. Stop: &#;Boy with Dinosaur&#;

Lebuh A Quee

Another of Zacharevic pieces and directly next to the &#;Boy on old motorcycle&#;.

This cute street art shows a small boy taking his dinosaur for a walk. Because, why not? &#; The fact that the dinosaur is rendered in the form of child-like graffiti expresses the creative mind of small children and how they merge fantasy with reality. Because of this unusual design it&#;s definitely one of our favourites.

Berit running away from the dinosaur&#;will she make it?

29. Stop: &#;Boy on old Motorcycle&#;

Lebuh A Quee, right next to stop 29

Another one of Zacharevic&#;s popular pieces, painted onto the door of an old shop house. Just like the &#;Two children on a bicycle&#; (stop 13) this one is also interactive where you can actually sit on the motorcycle behind the boy.

30. Stop &#;Man with a flag&#;

This art mural which portrays a man wearing a Malaysian flag design t-shirt can be found right across from the famous piece of &#;Boy on a motorcycle&#; (stop 29).

31. Stop: &#;Only you can stop Air Pollution&#; (NEW)

Also created during the George Town Festival this mural by Kuala Lumpur-based graffiti artist Cloakwork has the message &#;Only You Can Stop Air Pollution&#; and shows a man wearing a gas mask and holding a balloon with the &#;no smoking&#; logo while on top of the mural are 10 flexible poles modified to look like giant cigarette butts.

When asked the artist said he &#;wanted to raise awareness about air pollution which is mostly caused by smokers, in conjunction with the Smoke-Free policy at the George Town heritage zone&#;.

We hope you enjoyed this little self-guided walk around Penang&#;s popular street art designs as much as we did. Let us know in the comments below what your favourite piece was and why! :-).
