Children At Play Mural

43A Acheen Street (10 August 2013)


Children At Play is a set of two murals in George Town, Penang. The murals are painted on the interior wall of a shophouse at 43A Acheen Street. They depict a total of five children. The paintings are deliberately child-like, as though children were involved in painting them.

43A Acheen Street was built over a narrow lane that was once known as Pepper Lane, or Lorong Lada, as it once led to the warehouse belonging to Tengku Syed Hussain, the main property owner in the area in the early 19th century. A wooden gate was constructed to the entrance, which now leads to an ensemble of urban village houses.
