Dioramas of Penang Sun Yat Sen Centre


The Dioramas of Penang Sun Yat Sen Centre relates the struggle of Nationalists that brought about the fall of the Qing Dynasty of China. The dioramas, in the form of intricately detail sculptures, were created by SculptureAtWork. They are on display at the Penang Sun Yat Sen Centre along Macalister Road.

Among the dioramas are scenes of Sun Yat Sen at his Penang Base at 120 Armenian Street having his conference. There were also several amusing dioramas that helps to explain the history and not make it boring especially to younger audiences.

Updates

2 November, 2013: In addition to the dioramas at the Penang Sun Yat Sen Centre, you can also view a diorama depicting Sun Yat Sen's Penang Conference at his office in Dato Kramat Road. The diorama is at the History Museum of Penang.

Qinzhou, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China, was in 1907 the site of fierce battle between Revolutionary Army and the Qing troops of Imperial China. After capturing Fangcheng, the revolutionary soldiers were forced to retreat due to the delay in arrival of weapons and ammunition from Japan, and also because they were double-crossed by an agent.
