"Little Girl in Blue" Mural, Muntri Street

Little Girl in Blue Mural, Muntri Street, George Town, Penang (1 July 2012)


Little Girl in Blue (GPS: 5.41975, 100.33577) is a giant mural on the wall on Muntri Street, facing the compound of the Penang Goldsmith Association. The mural is the work of Lithuania-born artist Ernest Zacharevic. It was painting as part of the street art for the 2012 George Town Festival.

The Making of "The Girl in Blue"

"The Girl in Blue" shows a little girl lifting herself up on both hands. In the original photograph, the little girl has her hands on the side of tables, but in the mural, she is perched over the two windows.

"The Girl in Blue" is one of the two larger-than-life murals created by Zacharevic for George Town. The other one is "This Old Man" on Armenian Street. Note the names given here for the murals are descriptions; the actual murals do not have names.

Quite a number of people have said that this is the "scariest" of the murals. I do not know why, but I was a bit startled when I saw it myself. Perhaps it's because the little girl doesn't seem to be smiling, or perhaps she's so large, or perhaps it's due to her hair over her eyes.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
