Chinese Barber Diorama, Pinaon Time Tunnel

Chinese Barber diorama (2 November 2013)
Chinese Barber Diorama is a diorama installed at the History Museum of Penang. It celebrates the traditional barber shop. Perhaps the most famous rags-to-riches barber to have ever stepped foot on Penang Island was the late Yeap Chor Ee, who arrived from China almost penniless, and took on various jobs as he climbed the wealth ladder.

The diorama depicts a Chinese barber at work in his rather spare barber shop. There are wall mirrors and old-style electrical wiring. A set of barber tools are also exhibited.
