Kraftangan Malaysia Pulau Pinang (GPS: 5.51649, 100.44676) is the Penang branch of the Malaysia Handicraft Development Corporation. It is located at Persiaran Dagangan in Bertam Perdana, Kepala Batas. The handicraft complex is housed is an E-shaped building where the offices occupies one wing, workshops another wing, and the exhibit gallery the middle link.
The gallery of Kraftangan Malaysia Pulau Pinang showcases local handicrafts produced in Penang. Among the items on display include wood furniture, traditional costumes and pottery products.
In all honestly, I found the Penang branch of the handicraft centre to be a major let down. The centre looked like it was not geared to receive visitors. When we arrived, we had to walk around to find a staff who has the key to unlock the gallery for us to have a look around. I felt our arrival is an intrusion on their tranquility. The items on display were also not exciting, which shows that as far as handicrafts are concerned, Penang has a long way to go in developing its handicrafts industry.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
